I don't have pics of everything, but I can describe them.

I have four tegus in separate cages. My set-ups are pretty Spartan because I have a lot of herps to clean up after and I have found that my tegus destroy anything I put in the cage anyway. I decorated when they were younger, but now it's all for function. They do come out to free roam together at least three times a week on my screened in back porch for about an hour or two, so they get time to explore, bask in the sun or backyard if we let them, and get exercise.

My smallest B/W is in a 6ft Vision cage. All she has in there is a big water bowl. I used to put a hide, but she would sit on top of it and then poo. She prefers to bury in the mulch, so one side has a ton of mulch piled in so that she can stay hidden. The Vision has an indented portion for lighting, and she has a 60watt incandescent and a 10.0 fluorescent. I take her out in the backyard to bask in the sun to compensate for the mesh screen and fluorescent UV.

I have a B/W and red in stacking 8ft Neodeshas. On one side they have a wooden hide and on the other they have a plastic water tub. On the basking side is a 100 watt Power Sun mercury vapor bulb. The pic is when I first got the cages and didn't have the hide boxes yet and didn't have the new water boxes that I like much better. I tried some branches and rocks, but they ended up with rubbed noses from biting and digging around the rocks.


My Colombian is in a 6ft custom cage. It has a water bowl, a basking platform, and the platform serves as her hidey spot. It also has a 100 watt Power Sun for basking.
