Building enclosure

[isdrake]

I have been unsure about the amount of UVB because it's a pretty large enclosure. But I have done some sneaking around and it seems like you are right, one bulb should be enough. Less work for me, yay.

Is it okay if I continue to post another WIP even if it's for another lizard? It's sort of the same project since we have building them both at the same time. The bearded dragon enclosure are standing on top of it.

This enclosure is for our Argentine Black & White Tegu Whisky. It's pretty big.

Whisky have moved in now. There is still a lot I want to do with these enclosures but it's such a relief that all the lizards have good homes now.

And I also wanted to add this funny scorpion beardie. XD

That looks really amazing you guys did a really good job and you are going to have some very happy lizards!

I knew a fellow who has one of those. It is the biggest suck. I always said one day I'd get one. He also has a Savannah monitor, but I prefered the B & W Tegu.
Excellent job on the enclosure.

I prefer the Tegu too (obviously). You be better of this these guys than a Savannah, not that I have any experience with them but Tegus seems better in almost every way, plus they look cooler. But there are many other cool monitors out there. *drools*

Here comes some more updates. I have done a fake rock background, and it truly looks fake, lol. I really need more practice. XD

It's made in four sections that is simply attached to the plywood so that we can take them away if we need to move the enclosure. I think it would have looked a lot better if I have done it inside the enclosure as a whole section but that's a price we have to pay.

They are made in the most classic way using styrofoam and grout. It's actually five sections. I was working at my parents summer house and the last piece didn't fit into our car so I couldn't take it with me.

Also added some more plants that really makes the whole thing look more alive. I hope she likes it.

And some size reference:
