    New setup light/heat advise

    Getting ready to get my tegu so still doing my research. I will be getting a baby and it will go to 4x2x2. I do have a T5 uvb, ceramic heater, and basking light. What would be the correct placement for the heater and basking light, should both be on the same side or heater more in the center...

    Heating advice needed

    Hi guys, Don't have my Tegu yet, but Im doing all the prepwork. I have experience with reptile keeping, but not at this scale. I've build a massive enclosure for him, 2,70*1*1 meter (so 8'10'' x 3'3'' x 3'3'). And I'm thinking about how to heat this. His enclosure is on an attic which gets a...

    Hi! I've been fumbling with setups for my red, and I've been trying to bump the temperature up over 100 degrees for some time now with a lamp of the proper wattage. Well I bought one, but my thermometer still read 94°f. That was when I figured. Maybe it's not actually my setup, but my...

    Fogger lowering surface temps

    My basking temps are 107-117 on a half log and 100-105F on a tile but when homemade fogger is on, it lowers the surface temps so log is only 100 and tile is 90. It’s a 40 g breeder tank, a 160w mega ray is over log, 75 w flood over tile and a 100w Che near middle of tank. Bêla is around 3-4...

    Temp!

    Hey guys was hoping to get a confirmation on enclosure temp. I have a basking spot of approximately 110, hot side 85-90 and a cool side of about 80(+/-2°) while night temps dropping to 75-78°, is this appropriate for a Colombian tegu? I'm aware they live on the equator so temps are fairly...
