Hello Everyone!
I am looking for a general consensus.
After the temperatures got hot enough (70+ days regularly), I let my tegu Amigo free roam my room basically forever. During that time he definitely grew out of his old enclosure, and it strictly a basking/humidity house now, as he enters and leaves it as he wants. Usually when in shed or just wanting them sweet uvbs and extra heat XD. He even has an area where he will regularly go to the bathroom (thank god for pads!)
Anyways, the temperatures around here are going to start getting too cold at night.While I am positive during the day the house will be hot enough (we hate the cold and keep it above 72 during the day), nightimes a different story.
As this will be primarily a winter home for nighttime use, should I go full size 8x4 or would smaller be fine? If so suggestions on size? I was thinking a 6x4 or 6x3 (he likes to curl up when sleeping or basking, even with ample room to stretch out).
