    First enclosure advices, light, heating

    wow. they are awesome! In my opinion -even if I lack of experience of course-, the italian breeder I mentioned sets his temperature values in a way the tegu "need something", so they try to brake the wire mesh... MAYBE...

    Hi, no news regarding the protection for the lamps until now. If I'm lazy I'll buy them, if I feel like I will build them. Don't know. I am posting for something else. I showed to an italian breeder (now, I don't know if he is good or not) some pictures of the terrarium. I report his...

    First enclosure advices, light, heating

    Thank you for your answer Walter1, Do you mean this enclosure is totally wrong for tegu housing? Can you please be more specific? I suppose direct light will be able to reach the animal, since the top and two sides are made of wire. Maybe I'm wrong. Regarding the shady section I plan to put...
