Awesome video, also very nice looking setup . But like you said it is way too small. I would also watch the temps, it could get too hot and your tegu does not have enough room to find a cool spot. Tegus can overheat.
One other thing, what kind of bedding are you using? It looks dry, this could cause problems as well. Tegus need about 70% humidity.

Actually, we're having a problem keeping the temp up. I don't know the bulb we use offhand, but it seems its primary function is to produce UVB. It's rather sucky when it comes to generating heat.
As for the bedding, it's Aspen (nothing harmful, I assure you). Again, just temporary. Once the new enclosure is finished, we're gonna get something better. Just hope I can get it finished soon (I don't have a carpenters bone in my body, so I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants).
