i am making an 8x8x6 cage in my backyard for my tegu and was wondering if i could put a tree and some plants in their for him so he can climb them or stay under there to cool off

what would be good stuff like that to use???

thanks

I wouldn't trust the tree. I'd be scared he'd climb and be too scared to come down and fall of or something of the sorts. There not much into climbing anyhow. Plants would be nice too look at, as long as he wouldn't rip them up or eat them.

ok do you think if i had sometihng that would cover the one side of his cage that would be alright l

I personally love ferns..

Blechnum chilense

Native to Chili and Argentina.
If you are going to plant ferns, I would suggest starting with a medium or large sized one though. Otherwise, your tegu will probably dig it up and make a mess of it.
