That will work, and be much safer then plugging it up.

thanks for the replies, i randomly check the surface temp of the hot rock with my heat gun, it runs about 110-120 kinda hot i guess be its his/her/ favorite place to hang out. But BOBBY if you think i need to unplug it i will because my other basking spot is perfect temp so i wouldnt miss it

Wow, I didn't even notice it. Yeah, I'd unplug it.

 

[mr.tegu]

WELL OK THEN I WILL TAKE IT OUT A.S.A.P THANKS ALL FOR THE ADVICE, {more wasted money!!}

 

[Kazzy]

No problem. Yeah, it sucks, but you can still use it as a basking spot!

 

[mr.tegu]

well my tegu ate his first full grown mouse today at about 2 1/2 to 3 months old. my tegu was about 9 inches when i got it in late october 08. so in 2 months i have weaned it from insects, to full grown mice. CRAZY HUH!! he/she is about 25 inches long, 3 inches wide. i will post some pics in a few days so you all can see the growth rate from about 3 weeks ago when these enclosure pics were taken.

Awesome cage bro! I'm gonna try to build a cage the size as yours. How much did it cost to build this if you don't mind me asking?

 

[mr.tegu]

hey bro thanks for the compliment on the cage, it cost just about 300 dollars, but i accidently bought oak corner bead and molding at 1.50 a foot so you could build it for around 250.00 i bet if you get the 0.35 a foot corner bead and molding.

 

[LouDog760]

Awesome thanks! This size will be perfect for my room. I hope I can find all the tools I need. lol

 

[mr.tegu]

to be honest the only major tool i used was a skill-saw. you can rent them daily at home depot/lowes if you dont own one. let me know if you have any questions about it, and the doors for most people seem to be a struggle. just make sure everything is square and plum first and its super easy.
