how many square feet

how many square feet does a full grown male argentine B\W tegu need?
and im talking about floor space

Most people suggest an 8 x 4 enclosure, which would be 32 sq ft

Mine are built 7ft x 3ft (21 sq. ft) because of space restrictions. 4ft deep would be real tough to clean without climbing completely in. I can just reach the back it at 3 ft.

However, 8X4 if for an indoor enclosure is easier on the purchase as melamine and plywood come in sheets that size. I'll be putting El Che in a 8X3.5 outdoor enclosure when it warms up and the sun starts hitting North side of the garage, although I could build something that gets Southern exposure all year long.

okay just asking in square feet because when designing large enclosures i can think better in square feet

but im thinking about a enclosure with 35 square feet which would be 7' long by 5' deep
would the tegu like the depth or dislike the depth
