Enclosure blue tegu (rocks gravestones and waterfal)

[Renske]

We are bulding an enclosure in our basement (biggest part will be for a group of 10 Dracaena guianensis) how we dig our self.
Some pics of the basement:

Dutch: "Hier rust" - In English: "here rests"

Dutch: "Onze lieve Hermanus" - In English: "Oure beloved Hermanus"

For warming the floor.

Thanks... I think. Its a lot of hard work.. But with what whe have in mind it will be all worth it. :blush:
Its cold where I live. 3 months in the year it can be hot. But its not always that way. Most of the time a lot of rain. We just took a walk outside:

In the basement and the greenhouse its 25 (77F) and somtimes even 40 (104F) degrees.

I think your basement is beautiful! I live in a subtropical area, and we can't have basements because of the underground aquifer. The architecture in the building is gorgeous. How old is the structure?

Thank you!
My boyfriend started building it 5 years ago. In 6 months he had digged al the sand out with is a shovel. Then he stopt for 3 years... Then he found me and we started building again some months ago.
We want to make a big pond with big fish for the Caimanlizards to swim. In the pond we put some mangrove tree's with we grow in our greenhouse. Some are already 5 meters long.
One of the trees is a Terminalia catappa. The leafs of this tree have healing powers. A lot of people use it in the water of there aquarium with fish if there is a problem.

This is a picture made from the place where the water will come:

The gravestones are from 1800.

Honestly your enclosure looks better than the enclosures of the zoo's here on the east coast of America. Your enclosure is beautiful to say the least. Please keep adding pictures.
