Hello, I am considering getting Argentine Tegu as a pet in the future (not like next month, more of in a year or two). I have question about enclosure size. Most information I've found so far state 6' x 3' x 3' as minimal size for adult Tegu. I tried to find some place for the cage in my home and found out, that while lenght or hight isn't an issue (I can go easily for 7' maybe more in lenght and it can be as tall as it needs to be). When it comes to width though, the best I can do is 2,887' so I am about 4,72" short. The problem is caused by very inconvenient door placement in place I live in, so safe for tearing down walls there is no helping it. My question is - would this be an issue for the Tegu? Would it have trouble turning around because of this, or trouble resting comfortably, or trouble with something else if living in enclosure like that (about 7' long, over 3' high but only 2,887' wide)?
I realize you are getting a lot of these questions from Tegu newbies, but I would be very gratefull if you would take a moment to share your experience.
