    If you are speaking of the cage, is "tiny" really the appropriate word? Or are you being a troll?

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

    Troll?

    You were given good solid advice and you respond by calling it trolling?

    I got to hold an adult up at NERD, they are magnificiant. It's unbelievable how large and strong their jaw muscles are!. As mentioned though, they grow to be good sized and will thrive in a larger enclosure. You were being given advice that was for the animals benefit, try to show some respect and listen to the message. I'm sure you love your animal and want the best for it. It's comendable helping your friend, just know that you'll have to upgrade your enclosure at some point in the near future.

    It wasn't about the advice. It was the comment that enclosure was "tiny." I understand what he's saying and I appreciate the advice.

    The lizard is 7 years old. He's not getting any bigger.
    You are right though. I'm not trying to get snippy about advice. I appreciate it and apologize for the troll comment. I'll take your advice for what its worth. Thanks.

    Sweet Tegu! Hopefully you can build a larger enclosure as Chris suggests, then sell the vision and everything'll be all good. To the best of my knowledge, Tegu's aren't arboreal.

    What is the carbon filter for, odor control?

    Yeah, I picked it up at the local grow shop here in town. It actually works quite well and doesn't effect the humidity like I thought it would. I use a 4 inch duct fan so there isn't a huge airflow, but enough to filter out the poo smell. I covered the other screened areas besides where the lights are. I also put a box full of cypress mulch and he has taken to it well. He burrows in it at night. He gets free range of the apartment when I'm home as well. I just open the glass and he comes and goes as he pleases.
