[xJACKx]

One of mine. Built in old English oak and Tasmanian oak. Slate background and shelf in the middle with 2 heat/UVA lights and 3 fluros, 1 being a UVA/UVB also. It has a glass fish tank built into the bottom left hand corner for a egg laying area, or for easy conversion to a water tank for water monitors. It has 2 fibreglassed pot plants for installation on live plants. Each pot has a water valve on the bottom for easy watering and drainage. Also has a heat cord underneath all the substrate for warmth during those cold winter nights.

Cheers Barf

A hammock, was just a novel idea to begin with but has proved useful as i find it produces some shade that they use regulary. And more often than not they usually rest on it.

Thanks Jesswilliams! How big is your enclosure?

 

[Beloved_Reptiles]

Mine is about 3ft wide and just over 2ft deep!

 

[IzzyBeardieLover]

oh awesome! is that big enough for 2? I've got a 90cmx45cm(deep)x60cm(high) and i've only got one...reckon it would be big enough for 2?

Haha maybe, but it can be difficult housing beardies together, depends on their temperament really. I'm lucky Monte is such an old man he doesn't mind being bossed around by Gomez! (Gomez is actually female) but I did have problems with a clutch mate of Gomez's who used to attack her and had to be rehomed. Gomez was a very sick little beardie with MBD so bother her and Monte don't exactly run around a lot. Hehe

Oh really? Its a really good enclosure! Its got awesome ventelation and the glass slide really easily! Also the light spot is really useful!

The first thing i did was make a frame out of thing plywood. Then i screwed it in so if nesecary it is removable. Then i put flat sheets of polystyrene on (using sylicon to stick them onto the plywood). Next i put the basic fetures on (the large ledges) and carved them to look nice with a knife. Then i added some final 'rocks'. The rocks and ledges were made out of strong polystyrene and glued on using sylicon. The large ledges have extra support of metal frames (you can't see these from the outside). Then i mixed plaster of paris, cement colour and sand and painted it! I was really pleased with the texture and it was way easier then it sounds! It was so cheap all up costing only around $50 much cheaper than i store bought one! I'd love to see some photos when your done!

Sorry bout horrible spelling mistakes...
