2 feet high will not do with 7 or 8 inches of bedding and the light on the inside. The MVB will be only about 9 inches from the lizard's back. Maybe less. Too close. You are not thinking this through. Get one tegu and plan the cage better. 3x6 minimum. Most of us are from USA here, so you will see all imperial measurements. Use Google comverter.

3 feet high is good. 6L 3W 3H for each unit. Minimum. My tegu is starting to outgrow his 6x3. See the thread entitled "Gwangi".
