Can you post some pics of them and the enclosure?
Well I still don't agree with the size issue.. but that's just difference of opinion. I will go and buy a large tote or box.SnakeCharmr728 said:Regardless of the temperature and red bulb, it is still way too small of a cage, if you dont have the money to go buy at least a 40gal as a temporary set up because the 220 gal is too big, than at least go to walmart and get a large rubbermaid tote, anything larger than what they are in! That almost seems like tegu jail....
And a hide and larger dish..
An upside down cardboard box with a hole cut in it is easy enough to provide, and if you have dishes to eat out of, then you should be able to offer a larger dish, large enough to if they wanted to soak their entire body they could...
Im sorry if you take offense to the replies here, but we are animal lovers and stick up for the animals. You posted a photo of a cage that is no where near appropriate housing for one, let alone two tegus (even at hatchling size) so what did you expect our replies to be like?

This is 100 with no light, so that would mean the entire enclosure is 100 degrees. If you were using the light and getting a basking spot of 100 that would be a different story.
What are the dimensions of the 220 gallon? Why not just use that and put a piece of wood in it to divide it to make it a usable size?
