I've had tegus before, from hatchling through adult so I definitely know how fast they grow. I've gotten all my tegus from Ty Park in the past, and plan on picking one up from him again. Regardless of when I get the baby I'm still not comfortable putting a hatchling in an 8 foot enclosure. So I will need to have an intermediate enclosure for short term. If it's going to be short term I would rather not mess with wiring lamps inside the cage. In the past I build up basking platforms to get the right temps. Just from looking around the internet it seems that people use metal troughs pretty successfully. I will check out the plastic tubs. Still wary of them.
