Caging Idea

crimsonwolf1313 Dec 02, 2006 09:40 PM

I'm working on what to house my new blue tegu in when it gets bigger, right now he's in a 40 gallon breeder but i want to be ready for the next size. I waa wondering should i get another tank or my other idea was getting a trouth (sorry sp? the things that are used to give hourses water) from a tractor supply store and turning that into a cage. Has anyone used the a horse though before, for a tegu. I've seen some really cool one for ackie monitors and what not and they hold alot more subterate and heat better.

Any other suggetions would be great, i'm thinking of staying away from a front opening desing because of all the mulch that's needed.

I used two 50gal rubbermaid bins and cut one end off each and bolted them together to make one long bin.It worked out pretty slick.Its just a temporary solution but will probably last him till spring or so and only cost me 30 bucks...

I use the 8' long steel troughs for my tegus for their indoor cages. They work great.
