As many know last January our tegu fell ill. We spent almost $2600.00 to save him. The past 11 months have been a period of recovery for Ragu and our pocketbook. However, we are much closer to getting him into his permanent home. The dimensions are 8x4x4 feet. The front is simple plexie glass with the grooved slider. We plan on building a divider that fits front to back to install a substrate area. Due to budget constraints (husband had major workplace injury 4 years ago and has no income because work comp cut off his check. That is a story and fight in its self) we plan on filling a 2x2x4 area with the substrate and as funds allow increase his "sandbox" to 4x4x4. The larger area should be filled by March. We are in the process of off-gassing the stain and polyurethane. We have also ordered a total of 4 one light t-5 fixtures that are 4 foot long each. It will be heated with a mounted space heater (with safety cage) with a 120-watt radiant heat panel to come no later than March.
Does anyone have any additional recommendations?
I am considering mixing cypress mulch and Reptie Prime coconut husk.
How many have used a pond liner or tarp under their substrate?
Thanks hope everyone is having a happy new years day.
