I have an argentine black and white tegu, he is a couple of months old. At what age or length will he/she need to convert into a new larger enclosure? Thanks, Curty.

And hes about 3 months. He grows about 3 inches every week.. Hes huuuuuuuuuuuuge in comparison with his age.. or biggest I've seen of that age. Good job I'm one of those bigger-the-better people I wonder if theres a size thats illegal.. Like crocs over 8ft are not allowed in homes.. I know he aint going to grow 8ft.. But hes gunna be a beast. _________________ Davii [www.herp-observer.uni.cc] <- Exotic Pets Referral Program -> [http://www.exotic-pets.co.uk/referrer.php?ref=12906] Back to top Curty Honored Member Joined: Feb 27, 2008 Posts: 154 Location: Northern Ireland Posted: Thu May 01, 2008 12:47 pm    Post subject: I have found some good wood and it's on offer, 10 foot, 4 foot, 4foot!

Which would be the 2 foot dimension? You really should have almost a foot deep of substrate for them to burrow in, so if the 2 feet is the HEIGHT dimension, that's not going to leave much room for lights, logs, etc. You might want to think about that 2 foot dimension. My enclosure is 8x3x3 and I wouldn't want it any shorter, height-wise. Hope this helps, Warner Back to top Curty Honored Member Joined: Feb 27, 2008 Posts: 154 Location: Northern Ireland Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 6:12 am    Post subject: Curty wrote: I have found some good wood and it's on offer, 10 foot, 4 foot, 4foot!
