I'm going to be picking up my first ever tegu on Monday. I've had plenty of other reptiles, but this is my first adventure getting something big and I am pretty excited. I have a 20 long hatchling enclosure all planned out, but my question is, what are the actual optimal temps for the hot and cool side of a tegu tank? Care sheets online are giving me a pretty wide range. I plan on having a full spectrum exo terra light for daytime basking and a red night heat light for night time, but I need to know how far from the lid to hang the light to keep my new friend nice and comfy. Thanks!
Also, is coco bark acceptable substrate? She will be fed outside the tank, but if she eats a little on accident is there much of a compaction risk?
