bearded dragon tank size question

[tyson001]

Im looking at building a melamine enclosure over the school holidays to house two young beardies im looking at buying i have two panes of glass i got off my grampa that he had lying around there 5mm thick and 75cm long and 35cm high im looking two make the enclosure 150cm x 40cm x 50cm
my question is do you thing these sizes are ok for 2 beardies and for how long my main concern is the height?

 

[whatmeworry]

i think breadth is more important than height...

 

[tyson001]

breadth?

 

[Tristan]

length and or width.

beardies are more ground dwelling so will like space to run around tho they definitely do like climbing stuff as well

thanks
so do you think it ok then i want it to be big enough for a decent amount of time.

 

[mad_at_arms]

If you incorporate a substrate dam you could achieve a bit more height overall.

yeah that's a good idea maybe an extra 5cm plus was thinking of raisin the celling 5-10 cm to block of the lights from shining straight out of the enclosure so that might bring it to 55 im going for a smaller version off the unit pinoy's got.
