  • today we make a new tegu enclosure out of a grow tent. i always recommend grow tents for tegus for a few reasons. they hold heat and humidity better for the tegu, they are cost efficient and over all are a great tegu set up for your tegu lizards.

    Next time i suggest making a half box using 2x12 boards and a sheet of plywood, it can make a more stable and sturdy base for putting substrate in!

    Nice video bro. I just got a grow tent to use for my sailfin because of you. I like it alot. Holds heat and humidity very well, but just after 5 days l noticed some mold growing on my tree branches. Have your ever encounter mold in your grow tent? If so hope for you handle it and prevent it from happening again? Thanks.

      Message me on IG I can help you. I'll state generally for people that may have the same to use a small computer fan to help circulate the air better. Usually mold growth is due to a lack of air exchange where the air becomes to stagnant couple with high humidity that these tropical reptiles need and it's an easy recipe for it.

      @@Dakotahblueexotics l actually do not have ig. Do you have a fb? And yeah a sailfin dragon's recommended humidity levels are 75%-85%+. Will the air fan decrease humidity levels? Tbh l am pretty new to grow tents and a novice at reptile keeping. Thanks again.
