This is for later, but I'd rather get the facts now. I live in Southern California in the Coachella Valley. And for those who know where that is I live in La Quinta, near Palm Springs. I want to build an outside inclosure when he grows up but I'm not sure about a few things. Also I'll be getting an Argentine Black and White.


1. Can he handle the heat?
:vaca

I live in the desert where it gets hot in the summer part of the year. I'll post a link for the weather history.<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/daily/USCA0570?climoMonth=7">http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimat ... imoMonth=7</a><!-- m -->

2. what about bugs, aunts? Is this something I should worry about?

3. I have a side of my back yard I could just give to him. like cut it off and not build a cage. The reason I say that is because I know if he was in a 8x4x4 enclosure it would get hot in there over the summer. So I was thinking about cutting off half of my back yard.(I'll post pics of my backyard tomorrow!)

4. Climbing. Could he climb a tree or a wooden fences or a chain link fences. Because If I plan on putting him in the back yard those are thing he would be around.

I'm hoping to get a Varnyard Argentine Black and White tegu this 09 season. :roon
