Congrats on the tegu! She is a nice looking female! Very cute to see her sleeping in her log hide, definately too small but you already know that
Have you already started builiding the enclosure? If those are the measurements you have to work with then I would go with 31.5 as the height and 36 or more for the width. Be sure to seal your wood well with some sort of waterproof sealant (most use Drylok), if you can avoid a screen top and instead add a couple small vents on the side to also aid in humidity.
Be sure your room is tegu safe! They are famous for getting into stuff they shouldn't! My guy actually pulled the furnace vent right up from the floor and I caught him just before he got too far for me to grab! We would have had to tear down the duct work in the house to get him and he would likely have gotten very hurt from protuding tin nails inside the vents. They are rather strong and can knock some surprisingly heavy heavy things over. Free roaming is great for the tegu though to keep active as they tend to be very lazy (bored) if left in the enclosure more often then not.
