bearded dragon enclosures

[Atrax1207]

atrax do you have a plan or a sketch you could post, im going to make one but have no ideas.

Unfortunately no, b/c I'll make it from an old wardrobe that I have, make some ventilation holes and install sliding glass doors, simple as pie.

matt and splatt both very nice enclosures,

splatt whats on the bottom of your tank?

Thanks,

I didnt want to use sand, as there are so many stories about impacted juvies,

didnt like the idea of paper etc.

I have used some broken ceramic floor tiles, with a similar coloured great in between to try to create the affect of cracking clay.

I have a foam base underneath so that it doesnt get too cold.

Its easy to clean, looks ok, and doesnt have the danger of loose substrate for juvs.

I can add sand onto later if needed when they get older, but also have another fake rock section to put in that will make a sand pit for them when they are old enough.

Maybe my dragon setup?

Hi there,

I am getting a baby bearded dragon in a few weeks and am still working on getting everything right.. I've got my lighting good now, so it's on to set-up.

I have 2 slate 'stairs' on the cool side, a basking branch in the middle (i recently got some bigger ones but i'm yet to disinfect them yet), and a climbing hill (made from an old turtle dock) on the warm side.

As far as substrate goes I plan on using either paper towel or reptile grass while Dragon is little and then sand when it's big enough..

Suggestions, queries, problems??

-Aimee.

Here is my newly made setup.

Splat, that is an awesome substrate, and has given me a great idea for my new beardie set up

Only problem Jack is that it's great for a juvi or hatchling, but when he gets big he'll squish it :lol:

 

[Aimees_Dragon]

ahh yes.. where are you exactly? Theres plenty of usuals down here in my neck of the woods but I haven't seen a SINGLE coloured baby in the month i've been looking.. there were a few half yellow phase's but they were at least 2 hours out.. I'm after a yellow, orange or red.. Or maybe white.. just not usual lol..
