No monitor or tegus in those. They are good for Chinese water dragons and chameleons. The tegus and most monitors would tear right through it. My monitors ripped apart a 2x4 I had in their cage just from climbing on it. I had one for my dragons and they loved it. If you want a monitor you need a solid cage of some type that is not easily scratched. Mine are made of showerboard and 2x4's with Plexi doors that need to be replaced due to heavy scratches. My tegus are in an open air showerboard bucket basically it is framed with 2x4's and 2x2's. Good luck with whatever you choose.

A monitor or tegu would tear a mesh cage to pieces.
Not a good choice for an animal with large claws.
If you want to go with an inexpensive setup, plastic tubs.
This is the setup my nile baby is in. It's a 93 quart Rubbermaid. Full setup was less than $30 and he can't rip it apart.

with aregentine tegus though this setup would not last too long at all considering the rate in which they grow...I have never kept a nile (even though I would love to)but I would be curious to know what type of cage you are consdiering for the future...

This is just temporary. 6 months max. That way I can use the time to build a sturdy cage to last without rushing to complete it. |
