Hi Chris,

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I should have taken a picture of the enclosure she was in before, so that you might feel differently. All her needs, temperature, UVB are met. She also gets the run of the apartment every day.

In the future she will have a larger enclosure, but this will have to do for the time being. I have seen reputable breeders house much larger monitors in 3x6 cages, when scaled to her length, this enclosure is much larger.

Thanks for your input,

I'm glad she's getting out daily, as mine does. My female is in an 8x4 with regular outings as well.

The problem is that not all of her needs are being met. Opportunistic feeders like tegus hunt daily, occupying most of their day. There is no "room" to allow for this natural behavior. I'm glad she is being "upgraded" later, try to make it as soon as possible.

Thanks for your input, Chris. As soon as I buy a house, I will get a 3x6 enclosure or even an indoor walk-in terrarium setup.

Nice looking tegu! Cage looks nice!

Is it just me or is the cage way too small? A tegu would need a lot more room than that!
