Okay guys so this will be the first enclosure that I build from scratch. Planning to get a B&W tegu in the coming months and I'd like to get the enclosure planned out and started. I have a few questions.
Should I have a sliding door for the front, or an opening lid? No idea how to do this yet, but just getting an idea of what I should go for.
Should/could i have multiple levels? Will they appreciate that extra space going up.
What kind of water bowl/How deep should it be? Do they like soak or just drink? Could it be large enough for them to swim?
Should I give them any plants or will they destroy? I'm doing a bioactive and could add tunnels/logs or whatever a tegu would like to have. I was thinkiing of planting some sort of Bush. Any other features to add in? Hides?
I have a mistking I can run to the cage for humidity.
I've read about the basking, still need to read about the UVB and other specifics. I'm a newb to tegus so if my questions seem dumb that's why. a link to some pictures, guides, or any other info would be very helpful! Thanks
