It depends on the species - BUT - the commonest one found in petstores - the Argentine black and white tegu, (Tupinambis merianae) CAN grow as large as 54 inches ! Therefore you'd need a vivarium at LEAST 84 long by 48 deep and 72 inches high !

Are Tegu Lizards legal in Georgia?
To the best of my knowledge tegu are not illegal in ma. I personaly own a 4 ft. blue tegu and have researched it extensively. I haven't found anything outlawing them. You do however need a class 4 propagators permit for several other reptiles such as: all monitors, retics, anaconda, and a few other snakes. If approved for a permit by Masswildlife, its a 25 dollar fee per year. I suggest you go to MassWildlife web site and search for: 321 CMR 9:00 Exemption List. Tegu make great "pets", but as with any big reptile you better know what you're doing.
