If you had a larger enclosure I would suggest getting some cinder blocks and laying a giant flat rock over the top of it. I do that for eddie and guru, we haven't had any issues. Make sure the cinder block is touching the floor of the enclosure so your tegu cannot burrow under the rock. I can get pictures if you'd like but it basically looks like this lol... I have 2 in each enclosure, one on each side. The one on the warmer end doubles as a basking spot.



**Edit: Apparently my line picture doesn't want to work... One moment

I have as a cool side hide, a upside down rubber livestock water bowl with a hole in the side. On the warm side, I have an 11x17 slate paver on top of a craft store foot stool. he can dig under the stool without worrying about the slate dropping down.

I used plywood and screwed legs on it to make a hide. I used 1x2s for sides at first but since he is getting a little bigger I'm going to get some 2x4s to make the hide taller.
