5 feet can be big enough for an adult tegu as long as it has access to larger areas and more space to roam. I would really love to see evidence that shows it isn't but I don't see anyone actually proving that.

Yes if the tegu gets daily time out to a larger area, a 5' enclosure can work for a "bed". I find that this rarely happens as things come up and keepers don't have the time they once had. It is very unfair to put a 4'+ lizard in a 5' cage.

Yeah agreed, but you also have to consider that a large portion of the lizard is the tail. I agree that the bigger the better, but that's not to say it can't be done.

I have said on other posts that Odin will be able to freeroam the house and when he gets bigger. and we have an outdoor enclosure for him as well. we just need to make fixes to it. and as johnmatthew said, time is money. i have had no time at all and for $1600 i got a professionally made wall unit in 2 weeks. water sealed and laminated the whole shabang. so in my book, im saving...ya know?

I hope this makes you understand a bit better that I had no intentions to keep a tegu in a 5 foot enclosure.
