Tegu cage building thread

excellent work. cant wait to see it complete. im taking notes. my blood python will need a bigger enclosure (not quite as big as yours however)
That came out great. The new color made a huge difference. The red would have clashed with your tegu but with this color the tegu will stand out .
Thanks as always for the comments.
A bit of an update today. I finally put the top on! So that's pretty much it... oh and I started wiring for the lights. That will either happen later today or tommorrow. I also plan to silicone the enclosure either today or tommorrow. After days of researching for the doors, I have descided on sliding glass. I think it will not only be easy to do but it will serve it's purpose well. As soon as I get paid(next week ugh..) I will get right on that. Then, I will start adding the decor. I am currently soaking 3 huge branches to put in the cage.
Will also have to touch up with the paint in some places as you can see but whatever it's cool...

Hes doing well, thanks for asking. He is steadily eating more and more. Last measurement was 29". He will definatly be 36"+ by the time summer ends.
Another quick update. Siliconed most of the edges. Will let it air out for 24hrs beore continuing wrok on the enclosure
Another update. I installed one of the light fixtures and it works! One will be for the MVB bulb and the other will be for another standard(maybe halogen?) bulb to get the basking spot to where it needs to be. I am not sure whether I will need more watage but I guese i will see. I am not sure I will post pics of the other fixture.
I also need more silicone to caulk the edges. Looking at how many little gaps there are really shows how non professional this enclosure is
. But i guese it will sever it's purpose and it's very sturdy. Just dosen't look "clean" if you know what I mean. I put my leos on top of the enclosure and one of my females(as always) was getting aggressive with the tegu. I swear those lizards are soo funny sometimes...
