I have a 12 gal tub in my Tegus enclosure. I use a 50W aquarium heater (old version of VisiTherm Stealth Heater) and a small powerhead (Aqua Clear 20) with a sponge pre-filter (very simple DIY, but they sell them also).

My Tegu doesn't soak often but he sometimes does. I suspect when he does there is a reason why.

I understand when a lizard that big poops in his water, there is no way around changing the water. But if he doesn’t go in the water then going elsewhere will still leave the same problem behind. You are going to deal with Tegu poop one way or another…
