Hello,
I am finally about 3 weeks out from ordering my Tegu. I see that some places are getting Hatchlings in, but i am so scared of online ordering cause i see so many horror stories. I live in North Texas and there is only 1 shop that i know of that deals with large reptiles and the...
From my research, 6x3 is the absolute smallest you can go with an enclosure. recomended4x8, but i have seen and read about several enclosures that measured 6ft. Is it ideal... No, but it is the maximum size that would work in my home. Im sure that the tegu will like it just fine as it will have...
Hey, i am about to waterproof the interior of my enclosure and after that i am going to have to do something with the raw wood look. Since this is the center-piece of my home, i need every part to be dressed up nice some the unfinished/wood interior will not work. The exterior of the enclosure...
does anyone know or if you have a black light could check to see if the white markings on a B/W tegu glow under a black light? I am interested to know this.
i am about to do this same thing in my enclosure, from what i have read, it is play sand (washed thouroghly) potting soil (Miracle Grow organic with not pesticides or anything added at all) and Coconut fibers. I found a bag of soil at Lowes that said organic, and had a long list of everything...
I will deal with that when it happens. My windows sit 8 inches above the substrate level so it will be a while before anything can even reach it to scratch it. Especially since I don't even have a tegu yet. Lol
FYI, I bought plexi yesterday. Glass was cheaper and cut for free at lowes. But the guy broke 3 pieces of glass trying to cut it. So I changed my mind and had them cut the plexi. It was more expensive, but I think it will
Be worth it in the long run. And me and a tegu will get to keep our toes lol.
Yeah, dumb mistake, I thought maybe the window frames would be enough, but I was way wrong. Any ways, I removed the door and attached some 2x4 supports and straightened it right up!
The wife is having a girls night Friday so I have to go spend some birthday money to get the first lighting...
Is there any reason to worry about hurting your tegus eyes? I was just reading on another post that certain lights can cause blindness??? just wondering as this would be an ideal path to heat.
i have my windows framed, but not glass inserted yet. I am going to lowes today to make a final decision on it, but my preliminary research showed plexi to be more expensive than glass...??? if any can chime in on this being false please do so cause i am looking for the easiest route.
I know the...
Indeed, I just looked over my posts and noticed no demensions... Outter is 3 1/4ft x 6 1/4ft x 6 1/2ft
Interior measures.... 3ft x 6ft x 4ft.
I have hit some issues that i am working on today, the vertical weight from the door is causing the wood to bow out. and once 12 inches of substrate...
HAHA! I thought i was the only one. LxWxH.
Length - front to back
Width - Left to Right
Height - Floor to ceiling
But nice enclosure. I Am just getting to the point where i am trying to figure out the lighting issue for mine since the substrate to top is 3ft. I havent been able to figure out...
Thank you, I have a long way to go, and alot more money to spend. My Wife said if i am going to own a Tegu that will require such large realestate in the house than i must go ALL OUT, not cutting any corners, and make the enclosure the center piece of our home. I estimate around $2000 for the...
Here's an update, I will try to get some specs up soon as I did start with plans, and that quickly evolved into making cuts to fit and changing ideas as I got to issues realizing it would work like I thought. So here it is....
