Indoor Tegu Enclosure Walkthrough

- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Going more into detail on my yearling 1.1 Tupinambis merianae enclosure. I added some features compared to the last video I made. This is how I keep mine indoors. Come summer I will make another video of their outdoor enclosure.
This is suitable for my yearlings but I will eventually have to upgrade to a larger indoor enclosure. The next size will be an 8x4x3 ft (LxWxH). The outdoor enclosure will be 10x10 ft.
This species requires a lot of room so make sure you can provide that before purchasing!
I would just like to point out that most people do not use Mercury Vapor bulbs and fluorescents simultaneously. If done improperly you risk having your reptile exposed to too much UVB. I have a Solarmeter 6.2 and can properly measure the outputs. If you're going to use a fluorescent, I advise using regular halogens or spot bulbs to provide the heat. Do the research and learn what's best for you and your herps!

I could feel the love you have for your animal friends just by the way you talk about them and their whole living set-up. Very Very Nice.
your a good owner and I think the little condo you have built for them here is excellent. It's a hobby I have never considered but they are very sweet.
You have a very nice enclosure for them.I love the way you decorated the inside :) .5*
What a GREAT walkthrough!!!
thats a very nice cage setup good 5/5
Excellent set up.
Damn that's a nice setup man!
hey man, i just wanted to let you know that you was such a big help. serious i was clueless, thanks.
this is an amazing enclosure! the tegus look so happy :D
Awsome set up! Love the male tegu he is a great looking animal! Keep up the good work!!
You will be fine with either. As long as it's a T. merianae or T. rufescens you shouldn't have a problem with aggression.
I'm looking to purchase a tegu sometime this year and I must say u have the best set up I've ever seen of all the video research I've been doing......very nice set up and I'm sure your tegus are very comfortable.....
quagmireswagga don’t go by his enclosure if you want one
@@grantschloesslin6976 ....why not?
Love the cage, love the tegus and i love how u and the tegus like bonded lol.
Go with a 100w to start. It should create the proper 110F degrees you need for the basking spot. Then monitor then ambient temps to be sure you have a proper heat gradient.
ahhh ok, well im getting a black and white for christmas and will do a care vid so i will pm u when its up
super nice cage!
Nice tank and tegu............ :D
thanks, we actually just got a very young green iguana. it and all of its stuff was free and the person needed to get rid of it to go to school so we took it in... he wont eat for us and came in pretty bad shape.
you want to have lights in the cage and be about 95 degrees on one side ! argentine tegus are easier to tame but colombians are good tegus too ! i have 4 tegus right now and they are awesome i had a custom room built in my basment for them just cleaning it isnt fun
Nice Tegus and cage!!! Think I need to make a new cage for mine soon ;) Getting big very fast :)
cool, they're very nice
Nice tank, I'm building a 6x3 in a couple of months for my 9 month old Tegu.
When he's full grown I'll probably build an 8x6
@Cora452 this is actually his temperary setup two tegus need a 10 feet by 10 feet enclosure for one tegu this would be the absolute minimum for a tegu. The cage is about 300 and you need a 110-115 degree basking temp, it doesnt suck to clean a big cage just time consuming i currently have this exact cage for my tegu
knifeguru350 that's complete bullshit
i know, i have large animals like tegus, they need more room than just enough to turn and just enough to sit. they need as much room to move around as possible. the tail does take up room which they also need space for.
Good video thanks man I build my tank after watch your pretty much the same design I put wheels on mind so I could move it to different my apartment easier I'll send you a link after I get my painting do e on it
I did not build it. I bought it from BoaMaster. All your questions can be answered on their site if you google it. It's 6x6x3 ft enclosure.
i hope i get one a t the expo this weekend!!!
Thanks!
sweet cage..
Hey so what do you do for night time heat? I only see day time stuff.
Awesome
The bark scent is going to be hard to get by. Try finding Cyprus multch or some other sort of hardwood tree. Make sure it doesn't have any ceder or pine in it.
@sk8ergangsta2003 No, with proper research you can use UV well indoors. However the best for any reptile is natural sunlight. Always try to provide time outside. Under the tank heaters worthless for tegus in my opinion.
Asking for mites using that mulch !!!!!
Yes the ones I used are designed for high heat as well as water resistent.
Great video my friend
Hi can you make an update. Cause they look really small maybe they were young but 3 years later .... i really whant to see them thanks .
Just turned 1 in July.
cool! awsome, and thanks
@FENCELIZARDMAN It was from boamaster
Thanks, its really expensive at reptile stores.
They went into hibernation already but I might have a video lying around somewhere. I'll check!
@crazykyle401 yes for now. read the more info.
no problem
Yes it would be ok but your better off with something more around 8x4x3 (LxWxH) for an adult.
looks good i like the hide how exactly you make it?
most of the setups ive seen on you tube were terrible this was really good.
@beardekeeper223 they will be 2 in June
What kind of light fixtures did you use. How long where the screws you used and did they screw through the melamine?
what is ht ehumidity in that cage? a large cage like that i would imagaine would not be quite humid especially with cypress mulch, and the high heat in the cage
I wouldn't think so, due to the light emits UVV and such. I dont know for sure though.
how did you make that hide on the left it is well cool
@Adam193 I would say no. They need to be separated when feeding. Food cost a lot more and you need a lot more space.
i heard wood rotts when u use water or humidity how can i fix it
Does it suck cleaning something so big? Was it a super expensive cage? What kind of temperature lighting do u use. Is a cage like that NEEDED? or just preferred?
i'd say if you had a smaller one like a columbian it would be okay, but recommended is 8x4, at the smallest id go to 7x3 feet like i have for mine, but smaller cage means they definitely need a lot of time out of the cage to roam and not be all cramped up.
I get mine at Home Depot. Try Lowes, Ace Hardware, Agway, Walmart, Kmart, local garden supply store etc.
my baby tegus loves burying!!!!
Yes all reptiles end up costing a lot.
great cage and tegus. i was wondering do you breed them
so how many years would that cage support 1 argentine black and white tegu?
hola ¿como hago para que mi lagarto overo no inverne ? que cosas me hacen falta alguien me puede alludar gracias
oh cool do an update
aight cool
is that big enough for the tegu
can i keep one female argentine black and white tegu in this size set up
ok cool
thanks
Hey could you please tell me what you coated the front pannel of wood with or is it only glass
?? thanks!!!!
are you talking about the rocky mountain reptile expo?
wat did you seal the corners with
How is the odor , is it heavy ? And how often do you clean waste? Do you spot clean thanks
Chumlee from Pawn stars keeps Tegus?
Hey when buying this boamaster cage is it better and cheaper to insall the lights and light fixtures on your own or have the boamaster factory do the cut outs
Animals and cage was it that expensive because I'm thinking of getting some tegus
How much was the wood you got for the tank? and how much did everything cost all together
what do they eat
Why should I get a Powersun when I have a mercury vapor bulb already?
Where did you get your tegus? im having a real hard time trying to find them. Both ordering online and trying to find a petstore that sells them.
anyone know if you can use that rubber mulch stuff for these guys???
How high should the humidity be in their cage?
ground turkey chicken gizzard worms roaches fruits and veggies and egg but mice are good for them and u should give them it once or twice a week
What place do you get your cypress mulch because I have a 6 foot enclouser just wondering any other places
Hey what are your lightings for your tegu?? heatlamp unvb? or what?? thanx for your help.. can u also let me know the wattage of the bulbs? thanx
how big do these guys get ?
bigger/smaller than savanah monitors ? i wanna get a monitor or a tegu, ive never had 1 before.
Do you know what brand of hardware or garden store cypress to buy. There's a lot out there, obviously don't want any pesticides. So how do you know which one to get.
200x80x100cm , will that be good enough for a full grown Tegu? as a cage
What did u use at night come on I need to know ireallybwant one they look liikebalot ofbfun
Is isnt bad if you buy the one in the hardware stores because it has pesticites
wat do u feed them? an can u like feed them other stuff besides rats, like a substite, like meats? yeah right?
nice cage culd u give me some tips in a nother vid. ps is plywood or melamine better to use for an argentine b/w tegu
Did you build that
Bad ass setup bro_ im thinking about getting a blue tegu.
i have a question? So whats the name of that mulch you have.? it doesnt attract termites or any other insects .? and for the light bulbs do you suggest i get both uvb and uva .? one more question lol Do you make the enclosure what type of wood is that bro.? Thank you.
Can a single tegu live in that size cage its whole life?
could u put thm on eco earth
Hey could you tell me what that thing is holding the bulb in place because I just built a custom enclosure for my nile monitor and would like one of those things screwed into the top wall like you have. Plz reply back as im trying to get something similar to that asap. thx!
if i were you i would super glue the rocks,would that be a bad idea?
@jerseytimebomb how much did the cage cost?
where'd you get the logs?
can cedar mulch work good?
@hazzapics for 1 tegu so would argue it's entire life but I say you need atleast an 8x4x4 for one. I'm eventually going to build a 10x4 for these two I think.
how much are they by the pair ??
