    What to do

    So here's the thing. My tegu is going to be moving from his 6x3x3, which he has well outgrown, to a 10x10 outdoor enclosure where he will stay for the spring, summer, and fall. The thing is, the enclosure won't fit through any doors, and I can't really sell, because they way I built the thing it will be impossible to take apart without destroying it. Way to think ahead on my part. My question is, what would you do in the situation? I could use it as his hibernation box, but it seems a little big for an animal that will just sleep in it for a couple months of the year. I don't want to just have this big empty cage sitting around it will drive me insane to fill it. And I don't want to be convincing myself to get anymore big reptiles. Would this be too big for my male BI boa? Currently he's only 4 foot so that seems like really pushing it.

    There is no such thing as too big of an enclosure.

    The only flaws in a larger enclosure is that sometimes its hard to find your snake and warming it can be frustrating to get taken care of.

    put your boa in it, or get a retic hahaha. You can never go to big on enclosures just make sure to provide lots of hiding spots for your boa.... As far as heating i'd go with a RHP (radiant heat panel) you can talk to Bob at ProProducts and he would be able to tell you exactly which panel you would need.
