Weezie - Your enclosure looks nice...

I have some problems though - the lid appears to be glass (this may just be the photo) - this means that you have NO ventilation and as such the enclosure is likely to overheat and also maintain a higher level of humidity than it should. This can lead to illness and death in your beardie.

Another major issue I see is NO UV light - your Beardie requires access to UV light or it will develop Metabolic Bone Disease - leading to deformity and death. If your heat gobe also produces UV then it needs to be inside the glass lid. The glass filters out the usable UV from the light.

I would suggest making a mesh lid and purchasing a fluro fitting to place above it with a 10.0 UV tube in it...
