    Planning out enclosure - ventilation, lighting, floor protection, etc.

    Sadly, I can't see myself actually building it in the near future. I had to spent (unplanned) bigger sum of money lately (you know how it is when you have animals :rolleyes:) and it wouldn't be smart to go ahead with it until my reserves get somewhat replenished. Especially since due to the...

    Varnyard stock

    I don't know if anybody else is currently breeding on varnyards animals, but I would discorague anyone from trying to get their Tegu from the original breeder (Bobby Hill). There were some trouble few years ago with people getting Tegus with problems from him, or getting nothing at all. For...

    Planning out enclosure - ventilation, lighting, floor protection, etc.

    Thank you so much for answering, you're awesome :). I was thinking about going with MVB option for a while, but after I've done more reading on the subject I think I would probably like to keep my heat and UVB independent. The plan is to have there two sockets just for basking bulbs (and use...

    Poops often when I take her out

    I'm no expert, but I've been doing a lot of research on Tegus lately and according the information I've gathered on the subject, it seems a lot of these guys just don't want to "go" in their enclosure. Apparently some people have their Tegus even potty trained thanks to that - like this guy: I...

    Planning out enclosure - ventilation, lighting, floor protection, etc.

    Since nobody answered so far, I've decided to go ahead and draw a picture of possible enclosure layout. It's mostly about figuring out where (and how many) should the holes for power cords be and placement for ventilation grids. Right now I have there: two basking bulbs (to cover bigger area)...

    Adult Tegu enclosure size - width

    Building it myself wouldn't be the best idea - I'm just not that handy when it comes to building things and also don't have all the tools needed. I have few tips on people who could build it for me if I tell them what exactly should it be like. The "Ikea style" of moving it in the room is a...

    Adult Tegu enclosure size - width

    I don't really mean cage like for example birdcage. You have to understand, that English is foreign language to me, so I might be using some strange word or expresion now and then. I looked at Google search and since typing "Tegu cage" gives back some 85500 results I assumed, that this is the...

    Don't have any Tegu yet, but I'm doing my best to gather enough information to be able to get one in the future.

    Planning out enclosure - ventilation, lighting, floor protection, etc.

    Hello, I would like to ask you few questions about what properties should Tegu enclousure have, to make sure I won't end up with something dysfunctional by design. What I will likely go with will be melamine cage with glass / plexiglass side sliding door - size: 8,038' long, 3,937' wide and...

    Adult Tegu enclosure size - width

    I don't think that would be very good idea - it isn't in that good shape anymore and I would hate to wake up inside the cage one day :D. I believe, that different bed holding on the wall with the window and on the wall behind the cage + some sort of support in the corner away from both walls...

    Adult Tegu enclosure size - width

    Thank you so much for replying. I know 8' x 4' would be ideal, I'm just trying to find out what is possible to fit in the space I have (since I bought this place and I am unlikely to move elsewhere next few decades, so the problem isn't likely to go away). For example: I could go for stationary...

    Adult Tegu enclosure size - width

    Hi, I have another cage idea and would appreciate some feedback. Today I saw pictures of cage solo87 is building and it has wheels, which got me thinking: If I put wheels on the cage I could make it wider (4') and when I need to go through the door I could just move it out of the way. Downside...

    Adult Tegu enclosure size - width

    Hello, I am considering getting Argentine Tegu as a pet in the future (not like next month, more of in a year or two). I have question about enclosure size. Most information I've found so far state 6' x 3' x 3' as minimal size for adult Tegu. I tried to find some place for the cage in my home...
