This is my new Argentine B&W Tegu that I just got from Varnyard today. This is the temporary cage that I have him in for a couple months. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for the cage I have currently. The steel container on top of the cage has a 150 W ceramic heat emitter. I use this heat emitter as my heat source for the basking spot and to keep the night time temp up. This Ceramic heater is so hot, I am worried about it starting a fire or something. I used a copper pipe and cut it down one side, then opened it up enough to slip it over the edges of the circular hole I cut in the top. I then bent it around to fit the entire circle and hit it with a hammer so that it securely crimped itself to the wood edges. I figured this would help keep the wood from starting on fire.
I was thinking of taking the ceramic heater out and replacing it with a basking bulb, but then how will I keep the temp up during the night?
Should I just go down to a smaller ceramic heater and mount it inside the cage with a wire cage around the heater to protect the lizard? If so does anyone have a design for a wire cage for the bulb?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. any pictures of your proper set up's would be great. Thank you very much
