    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

All set for my little Tegu :]

Well hes not so little anymore (about 20" last i heard) But I've finally gotten his enclosure all set up! He has a basking rock with a temp reading of about 105, a cool side hovering in the mid to high 70's and a nice little tub to soak himself in :] Let me know what you all think!

P.s. When i received the tank it wasnt sealed and had some water damage. Also the electrical was fried and had burnt the top of the enclosure :/ I gutted it, sealed everything up with silicone caulk, did 4 coats of Drylock, rewired and repositioned the basking bulb and UVB bulbs, and filled it up!
 
What kind of Tegu are you getting?

Colombians stay smaller (but still big) and may do well in this cage long term... But Argentinian Tegus get much bigger and will outgrow that cage very quickly...

By the time mine was a year old he was 42" and 10 lbs... by 2 years old he was over 48" and closer to 15 lbs...

Arg Tegus also LOVE to burrow, so deep substrate is critical. Colombians burrow as well, though I'm not sure how much...

and of course, you've gotta post pics of the "lil" guy!
