    I wanted to go bigger on my cage and really "trick" it out, but unfortunetly I live in a shoe box sized apartment so I'm struggling with space issues as is, but oh well maybe some day I would love to build them some funky cool custom waterfall.

    Default The cage is finished!

    I finally finished the cage! Well sort of, the cage itself is done and moved in and decorated unfortunately in the process of moving it in I some how fried my custom made light switch. So I have a temporary heat source in there for them now but the basking and inferred light switch box needs to be replaced I will do it tomorrow. My tegu's were so happy at first and absolutely ecstatic about their cage but now they are a little scared since
    it's new to them and a big new place they are unfamiliar with so I'm going to give them a week to settle in relax and enjoy the new home. My biggest though (the male/lizzie) is already playing inside the new log I bought him and poking his head out of all the holes like a gopher and playing with all his new natural toys. But enough chatter here's the pictures of the finished product!

    Background info: I have a male female pair. About 8-9 months old best guestimate. They are b/w argentine tegu's. The basking uva/uvb is a whopping 275 watts so 110 degrees should be np. I'm going to buy a temp adjuster plug in adapter to control the heat outtage so they don't fry tomorrow. The bulb cage cover= chicken wire screen. Everything else is self explanitory.

    Stars and Planets that glow in the dark, cheesy but looks cool! And lets my tegu's watch the stars at night -The tape is ghetto but only temporary until I can buy more sticky putty from the store-

    looks fantastic.
    my only adjustment would be to pitch the guard from the light. it just gives them something to hang on and get burned, atleast the bulbs are slick and the cant hang on them.
    great work
