I need the dimension of a larger tegu housing although I don't think I can build it myself I would like to know a supplier that already has them built. Maybe for the size of an adult. Thanks!

Aye, I would agree on 8x3x3 for an adult red or black and white. A blue or columbian can usually go 6x3x3. Im not sure where you could get one that size, and certainly not the 8footer; you will pay an absolute fortune for them if you do find them too icon_sad.gif Its really not hard to make your own cage; the trickiest parts are getting your measurements right on the plan (calculate and recalculate!) and cutting the wood. The latter part you could probably get done at lumber yards or hardware stores fairly cheaply.

you will be best off to build your own.
but if you are in driving distance of ohio I can hook you for a decent price. like material plus 100 bucks or something

P.S. i say driving distance because shipping will cost more than the tank

Thanks for the offer but I won't be getting in the way of Ohio soon besides I do have some ideas.

P.S. I wish you or someone would answer my other post about the possibility of can and will a tegu eat pork and salad as well as some other foods.

No pork. Not sure what you mean by "salad". Fruits and veggies are good but tegus don't need lots of dark leafy greens like an iguana. You need to be feeding lots of rodents and insects, some ground turkey, and some fruits and veggies.
