Couldn't work on it for most of today because it was raining outside but here's my progress so far. I made it because I knew someone who had a ton of 1m long pieces of scrap board, so I took them and put them to use. Bought some welded wire, and some staples and got to work. The enclosure itself is 2mx2mx1m (a little over 6'x6'x3'. The thing is, I don't have a electric stapler, so I had to put in a disgusting amount of staples by hand. I need to make sure there's not a single possible opening for the little rascal to squeeze his way out.
It's gonna be interesting to see how this works. I'd like to keep him outside for most of the year and just hibernate him inside. I live in a pretty ideal tegu climate so it really wouldn't make any sense not to. That way I don't have to keep a massive, heavy enclosure on the second story of the house either.
Anyway, I do have a few questions.
1. What do I use as substrate? Just dig up dirt from the yard and fill the cage? I've had an indoor enclosure rot on me and never want to go through it again, and if this enclosure gives him a chance he'll escape.
2. What do you do during rain/storms?
3. Any negatives to keeping them outdoors?
