Great job!!!!

AWESOME enclosure! And what a pretty tegu! Good job!!!

 

[mr.tegu]

Thank you, Im a carpenter so i had most of the tools i needed to built this thing inside deminsions are 7' by 3' by 3'. Do you feel this will be large enough when the tegu is fully grown?

Wow, that looks really great. I'm working on an enclosure right now. I hope it comes out that good...it's smaller for a beardie though, 5' x2' x2'

Yours is really nice.

 

[mr.tegu]

oh wow i would of never thought that a beardie needed a enclosure that size, my buddy has one in like a 2' by 2' square glass tank, If you have any questions about building your enclosure feel free to ask me, It seems for most that the doors and plexi glass are the hardest part.

I'll have questions for you soon enough then! Hehe. I'm planning on building an entertainment center but with cages and a place for a TV and such for the living room when I move out.

Also, bearded dragons as adults should be at LEAST in a 40 gallon breeder, but bigger is always better.

And to answer you question on the dimensions. Typically you want to go with 8 ft by 4ft by 4ft, but I don't see why your's would be bad as long as he/she gets some good exercise outside of the cage.

Tell me about it!!!!! We didn't make it square so we had to scrap the sliding door part and make them regular doors instead LOL...we live and we learn. This was my first wood project.

My beardie is a spoiled princess. She probably could have made do with a 4' enclosure. No offense but 2x2 might be WAY too small.

 

[Kazzy]

Yeah, 2' by 2' does sound too small. I've got a baby in a 40 gallon, and he'll have a custom built cage that will probably be 4' by 3' by 2' (tall).

hey all thanks for the comments, Just to save some heart breaks my buddys beardie is only 14'' inches or so, im sure he will get it a bigger home when needed, he knows way more about them then i do so im sure he wont keep him stuffed in that tank to much longer.

I've got pics on this forum somewhere...hehe. Just the tegus are hibernating (except for one, which I'm keeping awake to put more weight on her) and my camera has no film yet.

Here are topics with my pictures:

Nice pictures and thanks for sharing, you have a nice looking tegu too.

One thing does worry me a bit about your set up though. The heat rock, I don't like using them without using a thremostat with them, they are well known to over heat and burn reptiles.
