I've some pictures only of my males at themoment. I thought to make a cage in wire netting with 1x3 x 1 meters... I think they can live well in this speca but I don't know if they need to dig in the earh or if they could live only with artificial hole as in the pictures you sent me. My friend has merianae and he put them in a cage with plastic walls, but his tegus can dig in the earth... so I have some doubts about the materials and the hole I have to give them. I don't know how I could send you the pictures...
