Blue cross female before and after she laid a bunch of eggs.

Today on Father's Day I figured I would do some outdoor work which reminded me of my father and grandfather.  After drinking 1.5 gallons of water on this 90+ degree Florida day I almost finished this 8'x8'x3' enclosure.  I'm trying something a bit different and that is to build a hide that is partially underground.  The hide is roughly 2 feet deep, 4 feet long and 3 feet wide.   I used the cut hardware cloth at the bottom and cemented the edges to the interior wall.  I will fill in some dirt on the bottom and fill the rest with hay and mulch.  I have to admit that even digging this relatively small hole was pretty tough work.  Anyway, it was a good work out even though it didn't come out as perfect as I would have liked, I'm sure the tegus won't mind.  

Hanging out with my blue cross male I call Omega. Even though I keep him outdoors he's still pretty chill.

One of my female blue tegus after she laid eggs looking very skinny, and breeding neck bite marks.
