I did have better basking rocks, just wouldnt fit in the 29g I had thrown them in until I get the rest setup. They are in the 75 now and I will after 2 weeks in my move put them in something bigger.
Alright if they arnt heavy then maybe I'll consider those, probably come down to price somewhat. The one thing I'd semi note is those to me look more like for breeding. Idea was for more of a display/pet type situation. So I guess what I'll need to do is build them a seperate large box with front glass I'll stack on the 8x4x4 for tegu or put alongside it. Or if I do the bins, I'll need to figure out how to skirt or panel the outside and try and class it up a bit.

If you have a female ackie, you don't have any choice. You need deep nesting substrate, or your animal will die. Maybe not after her first clutch, but she will not live a long lifespan at all. Even without a male, she will lay. So its not about breeding. You can always build an enclosure with a cattle trough (not a bin) as a base for your substrate. The trough is the most popular setup because it works, simple as that. It doesn't rot, bow, leak, lose heat, etc. Also, you will not be able to put anything underneath a 4x2x2 filled with atleast 15-20 inches of damp substrate. It will weigh between 1-2000 pounds depending on the mixture you choose.
