"As for your heat, check the wattage and heat output of the flood light. I use standard soft white bulbs for heat. You don't want too bright light for your lizard nor too much heat."





I am curious to why you suggest staying away from a brightly illuminated basking spot???





As far as the beginning post goes.



A well fed hatchling tegu (argentine/red) should outgrow a tank that size in several months.



Cypress is the most commonly suggested substrate but I haver never used it (it isnt available in my area) I opt for redwood mulch which holds a decent burrow and retains moisture well.
