Hey there, Thanks. I also think it came out well. I will try to get more pictures up from further away to get a better look of the entire enclosure.

As far as the heat lamp, I live in San Diego CA so best answer is no, it doesn’t get that cold here. Although in case of a cold winter I did install a lamp fixture that has the option for 1-5 lamps to be added but I only have had to use a max of two and that was just to be safe. During the winter time also I get a flake or two of bramuta grass (sorry if spelled wrong) and add a nice thick layer of it to each hide. Also the hides have about 1-2 ft of soil for digging.

Living in California I have yet to see any wild tegus but I have heard of other owners feeding road kill. I personally haven’t offered anything like that; the closest they get would be the small blue belly lizards that drowned in their water dish.
