    Default First Tegu and my custom Enclosure! (lots of Photos)

    About a month ago I purchased a Argentina Black and White tegu and decided to build my first custom enclosure. The Thing is huge 8'x4'x3' I drew up all of the plans myself and constructed it myself. Enjoy Any feedback as well would be appreciated!

    Here he is with my dachshund staring at him curiously

    The Frame.





    Finished the frame.

    Added support and the floor of the enclosure.



    Finished all of the siding with vents.

    Added the lighting.

    Installed the glass doors.

    All finished! With one very happy Tegu!

    You know you are a reptile owner when you can use tissue and duct tape to bandage a bite while you are working with your scaly critters

    I went to a local glass place gave them the dimensions they cut it for me the same day. I also ordered two sets of these http://www.amazon.com/Knape-Vogt-4x4...ref=pd_cp_hi_1 and cut them down to the correct length. Ill go in depth when I finish writing out a guide.
