Hey guys,
I got a little squirt of a red tegu at an expo about a month ago, since then he’s ballooned to about 8 inches body length (minus the tail). He fit in an 8oz deli cup when I got him. Just wondering when the right time to move him to a bigger enclosure would be since I’ve heard different things about them feeling insecure in an enclosure that’s too big or aggressive and stressed in one too small. He’s currently in a 24”x18”x12” and doesn’t seem aggressive, just doesn’t really want to be touched yet unless I’m feeding him. I do have a bunch of spare 3 and 4 foot cages I can move him to, I just don’t want to move him too early and stress him.
