I'm always concerned with such large cages because most people just worry about the width of doorways and nothing else. Heck, some people dont' even worry about that so you're ahead of the game.
I always encourage people to try to limit the length of their cages to just under the height of a typical doorway. This way the cage can always be turned upright and slid around corners, etc.
With your cage you're talking about flipping it up on it's back or front to move it through doorways. That's a footprint of 96"x30" which is very difficult to get through doorways. If you can a 30" wide door you'd need to go through it straight on, something that's hard to do with an 8' cage.
At a minimum I'd say get some cardboard and make a template that is 30"x96" and try to slide it around your home, through doorways, around corners, etc.
If it fits it would be nice to give your Tegu that much space. Otherwise you're looking at removing nearly 20" in length from the cage.
