yeah i just went to home depot and was unsure on what sealent to buy and saw the kilz stuff like in the tut that was posted on here and on sale too a gallon for 8:99$ so yeah and charlie was hibernating so i got him a GOOD heallamp bulb 125 watts and made his basking spot 116 degrees so hes now begining a shed and eating and pooping all in 1 day with a new bulb so that was a good idea

the problem with owning such a big lizard is my bieng 14 tho because im about to go into 9th grade and im gunna be up to my nose in homework because im at a like really high expectation school and they gives tons of work..

and meanah you should see if theres any carpenters or something that live near you that could lend u a saw or something if u needed it like the plumber near me is gunna finish charlies cage and put in the window and leave me to seal it then hes gunna start building his cage since he just got a tegu

Don't worry Spencer you are a very smart young man, you will do just fine in school.At least when you get frustrated with school you have charlie to calm you down ( hope fully ).Take care and good luck with every thing.
