Hey Everyone,
I am expecting my new Columbian Black & White to show up in 3 days. I currently have a 75 Gallon long glass tank to use for him as a hatchling. Having a 6 X 3 X 3 cage built within 6 months. I was just wondering though how I might set up the tank for his arrival. I have been doing some research and have decided on using the cypress mulch at about 6 inchs deep evenly. I'm also going to custom build him a square hide with a basking spot on top. My main issue I'm having problems deciding on is how to set up a soaking tub inside the cage. I am wanting to acquire a tub that will be big enough and than build a frame that will hold the tub up, kinda like a bath tub will be installed, about 1 inch above the substrate level. Just wanting to get some ideas from the community. This will be my first Tegu, but not my first lizard.
