Whole prey foods are great, no need to waste your money on calcium supplements if your feeding whole prey.I’ve been advised to feed my tegu whole prey items once a week.
I give my two Yr old tegu one large rat once a week , a pound of salmon onece a week, and black berries and raw eggs once a week. If you want them to eat something add eggs
Grow tenit’s are great if your not in your forever home, tegus don’t care . You can get one for 200 dollars . Hang the lights on tie wire add a humidifier and you me good.
If you looking cheap just do a grown tent , you can use cinder block around then perimeter in the inside so they have some room to dig and burrow, my tegu loves his , humidity and heat are always perfect
Rose city reptiles has a video on substrate that I did , super cheap and a game changer for shedding, no more stuck shed on toes. Peat moss
topsoil and play sand been doing this for awhile now, and it works for bioactive when you put your cork bark oak leaves and isopods
Try sticking to rodents one a week, I’d feed mice over pinkies , then once he gets to jumbo mice switch him to small rats. Salmon is another good staple. Helps with shedding and good fat content .
Timers are a must, I keep a 75 watt on 24hrs and two other heat lamps so it hits the whole body for basking during the day, my house does get under 65.
