Tank!

Meet Tank, my new Argentine black and white tegu. I bought him from the president of the Madison Area Herpetological Society tonight at our meeting. We had arranged it a while ago, but it had slipped my mind until the other day. He's in a Vision Arboreal 3ft cage right now for the night. Tommorrow, I'm getting the biggest Vision cage they make dropped off to my house for his new permanent home. Best part is, the cage is only setting me back 500 bucks!:D:gj:
Here he is. His face is super white and iridescent. I think he's stunning! Better pics to come. My camera was dead and Kinra snapped these quickly on her camera.

He actually wasn't that mad, if you tickle under his chin he opens his mouth. :P

yeah he's awesome. he was just eating grapes right now on my floor but decided to take a break/nap. lol

Save your money, forget the Vision, and make your own enclosure. Visions don't allow for proper substrate depth, there is too much ventilation, and are too small. The largest one I believe is 96x30x24. Build an enclosure 96x72x48 instead. Put in a foot (or 2, preferably) of dirt, provide a hot side and a cooler side, and provide plenty of places to dig, etc.

That is a large, active and intelligent lizard you have there (his beauty goes without saying). Respect him as such.

Too late. Already bought the big vision cage for 500 bucks. It was helping a friend out by paying her mortgage so I don't mind. i bought a can filter and fan last night for a carbon filter and things are ready to go!

its actually 80 x 30 x 40 or 44 or something like that.
