I don't plan on keeping any large lizards within the next ten years, but, I'm just curious on how you set them up. Obviously, most, if not all, are DIY since the cages would have to be at least eight ft. long and shipping would be a nightmare on such a thing.

Please post a picture of your enclosure so I can get a visual of how exactly it's set up! It will be greatly appreciated!

Back on the main point, here are some things I want to address:
  • What substrate is the best?
  • What are the specs for your enclosure?
  • Sliding glass/hinged doors?
  • How many UVB lights? And actual 'heat' lights?
  • How often do you change the substrate?
  • How large of an enclosure is needed for an large Tegu? (B&W or Red)
  • How large of an enclosure is needed for a large monitor? (Nile, Water, etc.)
  • What kind of wood did you use to construct the enclosure?



Also, if anyone has a DIY for such an enclosure, it will be helpful!
