new B/W yearling - what's the best advice?

[ponsoire]

Hi! I've been researching tegu for a while, and today I had one sort of foisted onto me, so while I was preparing to eventually obtain one, I feel a little shaken up and flustered and unprepared! They are a very big commitment and while I'm ready for it, I'm just struggling through a lot of information trying to find the very best. The care sheets I've found have been mediocre, so I'm asking (as I run off to pick up her new enclosure) for everyone's preferred care info/what they consider the most accurate. I will post pictures and more info later!

Thanks in advance.

There is a lot of information on the web about tegus. However, not all of it is up to date. I've had my Argentine black and white tegu for a month now and some things I'm learning as I go, but the enclosure is the most important thing to have accurate. You must have those temps right or nothing else is going to go right.
