Ok I have seen many different ideas for what a tegu cage should have in it. I have had my gu for about a week and right now he eats cut up turkey deli meat and cooked eggs (tried mill worms and he wont go for it). I spray his cage twice a day to keep up humidity and I have a 60 watt UVA light buld with premium tropical cypress substrate and a hide rock. I know I needed a heating pad which covers 50% of the cage that should be here today/tomorrow but what I dont know is what kind of light I SHOULD have. I know I need UVA and UVB but what watt? how big/how much cage should it cover?I have seen 18watt and 26watt 24in long and also do I still need the "basking light" or is that what I am replacing? Or should I have a small uva/uvb 50 watt basking light? Im lost here. He is about 3 months old in a 10 gal tank but I just purchased a 40 gal for him when he gets bigger so I want whatever I buy to be big enough for the 40 gal tank (except the heat pad ofcourse). PLease help and let me know if I am doing the rest correctly also Much obliged![align=center][size=medium][/size][/align][/font]
