Tomorrow I pick up a pair of Bearded dragons (Vitti's). I am very excited as these are my all time favourite lizard. I used to have barbatas way back when I had a lizard pit in SA and am absoutely thrilled to be getting some!

I have rather large wardrobe that I am going to convert to a beardie mansion, but that will take a couple of months (To save up for the plexiglass!) but I had a brain wave this evening in regards to their temp home and want the opinion of my fav people.

I have TV entertainment unit. There is a section that has a base shelf and a shelf halfway up. This section is used for storing videos and cds. It has a glass front. I figured I have remove the shlef (it sits on the little black pegs so easy to do) and install the UV and basking light in the top. There will be enough height to stick in a few good climbing and basking logs, easy to clean due to the non absorbent material that it is made from (Something like melamine) and a secure door (Once I attach the lock to prevent kiddies getting to it!)

The only down side I can see is that there is a tiny gap around the glass door. Now given that these are not snakes, I cannot forsee and escaping on behalf of the lizards, but heat may escape.

It is wood though, so should retain a fair amount of heat.

What do you guys think?
