cage lighting for a 5'x2'x15"

[pauljr456]

I have a cage 5'x2'x15" and i was wondering if that was good for an adult tegu if i take him out everyday and let him roam for 5 hrs a day also i need ideas for light and heating the cage already has heat raidiant panels and sliding plexiglass doors that lock but i need to figure out a way to get the heat at 105 for basking and the 80s for normal and lighting in there if the top is solid wood

pauljr456 can you post some pics so we can get an idea of what you are working with to see if it can be modified to be larger? That is a little on the small side in my mind for an adult, but others might have some better input. Is it made of a material that can be cut easily so it's Length and Width can be added to? I am constructing one right now that is 6ft long because most enthusiast/hobbyist say you can get away with a 6ftx3ftx2ft to 3ft(height) but a 8ftx3ftx2ft to 3ft. is the best way to go.

Never heard of it and tried looking for a sec but nothing came up. Do you think it could be cut and/or modified? Or can you send me a link to this material and I will check it out and let you know what I think.?

Yea most definitely a 5'x2'x15" for a baby or yearling. The height is not as important as the L and W. Tegus are not necessarily climbers, but that depends as well on the tegu they are like ppl they are all diff. I have heard of some loving to climb in their baby to yearling ages.

But he will have free roam most of the day
