Hi. I am getting a blue tegu in a couple of days, it's my first tegu. He is about 5 mos of age, and if there is any information and or advice regarding these type of tegus I would love to hear it. I just picked up a 75 gallon tank for him, got a 3' 10.0 uvb strip bulb, and a red heat (150 watts) bulb for him. Regarding his substrate, is sphagnum peat mixed with bark ok? Is shredded redwood ok? I probably have too many questions to post.... I'm all ears for advice. Thanks!

Regards,
Greg
