Only use pure 100% natural lump wood charcoal, not the briquettes. The brand I use is called royal oak, you can get huge cheap bags of the stuff at Home Depot. If you want to be extra careful you could just use horticulture charcoal.Welp, going for the bioactive, got most things going...but I just realized a potentially large mistake, and hoping any vivarium users might got some answers or thoughts.
I bought charcoal briquettes, as it charcoal is supposed to be very good for vivariums. However I just found out that some briquettes potentially use lighter fluid in their mix....should I just toss the whole mix out, is there a way to wash away these potential chemicals? Or is it not much to worry about?
For full disclosure, I had gotten Home 360 classic charcoal briquets. It is not in the enclosure.
Well darn it >.> Well better safe than sorry. ha, spent the whole day trying to crush the stuff, and read about this!

I'm amazed at the beautiful plants in there. I assume they are live? I just don't believe that a larger tegu would rip the plants to shreds. Anyone have any input on using live plants like this? Thanks!epic looking tegu cage if you want inspiration.
