    Help with cage measurements and price

    Cage critique/ suggestions

    hello everyone! I'm the proud new owner of an argentine b&w tegu. I picked up my little female at an expo a couple of weeks ago and was able to build her home over the weekend. Although I'm not new to reptiles, I am new to the tegus. For her enclosure I made it 8ftx3ftx3ft made out of melamine...
