    Anyone Know Where to Find PVC Boards?

    Substrate?

    I use coconut coir in my enclosure and my tegu seems to enjoy it. He's never been too big on burrowing since he seems to prefer the hides that I put in his enclose. I've used peat moss in the past and I will never go back. The amount of dust that gets kicked up is insane. Sent from my iPad...

    Spray on cage sealer . ?

    Two bags of peat moss should do the trick. I have a 4x8 and 6 inch deap layer in mine with two bags of peat moss Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Tegu substraight

    I'm at work right now so I'll post a picture when I get out in he morning. At lowes or Home Depot it should be outside in a big white square bag. There's usually just one brand I believe. I used play sand and just mixed four parts peat to one part sand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    My new tegu enclosure

    You can get clear Drylok. No idea how it holds up compared to standard Drylok. You could also use spar urethane to seal it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    enclosure building and expenses
