    New to Tegus, but not new to herps in general.

    We actually ended up adopting a lovely young lady from a rescue. She's a two year old black and white named Precious and is quickly becoming a snugglebug.

    Thanks. It ended up being a bit shorter than I initially planned due to space in the living room. We ended up at 9 by 4 by 4. We went with a 12" depth on her substrate which she is currently buried in for brumation. The two slanted sides are 40" by 40" doors that I can crawl through and sit in...

    I totally forgot I never put completion pictures in here. Sorry for that. Precious' house is finished as is the decor around it.

    The enclosure is nearing it's completion. Thought I'd share a couple shots of it. Final sizing ended up just over 9' by 4' by 4'. Utilized Drylock to seal it, and I'll also be heat forming a plastic liner to the interior up to the top of the substrate level.

    Random pics of a friend's baby.

    Gorgeous build. Love the hatch. Did you utilize automotive hood shocks, or were these a different type?

    Glad to hear We dont have to have two feet worth of substrate. I was not looking forward to filling that up by hand, much less cleaning/cycling it all out. As for our space, we bought a decent sized house. It's only my wife, myself, and our disabled son. We have a bit more room for "kids" so I...

    Wasn't aware about the jumping. I'm most likely going to be building this at a four foot interior height. I'm hoping that'll be sufficient. I've read/heard a few places that two feet (depth) of substrate is recommended. Is this correct? He/She will have a number of rock dens to hide in. Trying...

    HELP US VETO SENATE BILL 1414

    Late to the party, but I sent it in anyway. I'd hate for a state known for large reptiles to pull a bonehead move like this. I was hoping my birth home was better than that.

    Greetings, salutations, and Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong. We currently have nine different herps ranging from frogs, to Gecks, to four Beardies. The idea of a large "lap lizard" has always been a dream and it would appear it will soon be a reality. Before it happens, (next couple...
