I would build the enclosure before getting started. It big and needs to be planned out and its easy to put off if you have something else that "works". You dont want to be building it while being rushed because he is growing so quickly etc.
Mine went from a baby last november to now over 3ft...
Marine plywood is treated with chemicals etc to make it the way it is. All you need is normal plywood for a tegu cage. Then you seal it with Drylock or something like that. The drylock if applied in multiple coats will make it last forever.
Get one of those Firebelly ones! I love em. Even though you dont look at there bellies often you can see the red sneaking around the sides when they are laying out flat.

Highly doubt its the size of the enclosure.
Are you trying other types of food for him? Or still salmon and pinkies? Mine goes absolutely crazy mode for dubia roaches. Have you tried any fruit with some meat? My guy loves blackberries and blue berries. Try and vary it up a bit and see what...

I used glass for the front personally but it might depend on how you are doing your door.
I have the 4ft reptisun bulb in mine plus 3 more sockets. 2 with adjustable heads over the basking side so I can aim them how I need to to get the temps where I like them in different spots and one in the...
Glass might make the swing door a bit heavy. Really if it swings down. I personally chose glass for mine and am really happy with it. My tegu is always up on the glass scratching at it whenever im in the room trying to get me to hold him. If it was plexi there would be tons of scratches on...
