Hi, I'm http://www.tegutalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7834&p=72522

The Story..
I got this Colombian Golden from a friend. The friend had it in a 40 gal tank, pine shavings for bedding, 60watt light bulb, and for feeding time he would dangle a dead mouse from the top of the cage. So he isn't that happy of a Tegu..

The new.. Mr. Bartolucci aka "Poot"
I now have him in a dresser that I put on its back (3' long 2.5' wide 15" high) and lined, cypress mulch, big water tub and some little things in it. I use the 40gal for a feeding area. Purchased a 150watt UVA light (couldn't afford the uvb this week). Now feeding him grapes, strawberries, and frozen mice (thawed, no micesicles)..

The wooden thing shown in the pictures which he is basking on is removed. He looked like he was about to get stabbed, and seeing how it's a short cage, I'm afraid it's too close to the light. He wouldn't eat today while I was changing his bedding, so I'm going to try again tomorrow.

THE HEAT ROCK IS NOT PLUGGED IN
I cut the cord and am just using it for a basking rock =P
