Another very big difference is the egg size and weight. The normal egg weight is 16 grams, the Extreme egg weight is 26 grams, that is a 10 gram difference in egg weight.

Would you be able to house a chacoan giant adult in a 6.5' x 40" x 27" enclosure? I would be letting him out to roam often aswell. Just wondering for future reference as I would love to get one in the future.
i have a regular arg. b+w tegu and his enclosure is 7.5x3.5x3 I wouldn't go much smaller for an Extreme Giant.

yeah I have my argentine b+w in the size cage I mentioned above I would have liked to make it bigger but that was as big as I could go and still fit it through my door in my room. It should be big enough right?

2x the length x the length is the minumum. I suppose you could go smaller, but you would have to make up for it with free roaming. Even with FRing, I still don't reccomend "minimal cages".

Nice pics Bobby, I didn't know about the difference in egg sizes.

I agree I'm planing on getting a Extreme Giant and I'm expanding the cage to 2/3 bigger than what it is now
