Wow! It looks great! Aren't you afraid of other animals getting into your tegus enclosure? Like snakes, bugs stuff like that. I want to make an outdoor enclosure but thats what I am afraid of.

I live n Iowa so Not a lot of crawlers. I am building a top to prevent the rare raccoon. Until them I am moving him in at night

How big is your Tegu?
How deep is the substrate?
Are the only hides that platform thing and the tupperware container?
What about stray cats or dogs and birds of prey even during the day?

Tegu is just at 3' he will be a year old in July
Substrate is about 12" deep
The Tupperware lid is what I put his food on.
IN the opposite corner is an half underground hide
The lid will be finished today and today is his first day outside.

Thanks, I started working with Bonsai or Mini Trees 4 years ago. There a lot of fun unlike a Tegu when you put them down they stay there!

Okay,.. so is it more of a permanent outside enclosure or just something you plan to use during the summer? I don't know what Iowa weather is like and the first post is just a pic with no info.

This is a summer enclosure. It get below zero her in the winter. Summers can be hot and humid. For a good 4 - 5 months it will work here in iowa then back into there indoor enclosures. It's nice to have them in natural sunlight when possible and 5 months of it is great.
