So, i have a bearded dragon, and a uromastyx, and two leopard geckos. Would it be possible for me to build stacking enclosures for them? I was thinking two 2x2x2's at the bottom, and a 4x2x2 for the middle, and a 4x2x2 at the top.

Basically, it would be a shelf, but instead of drawers, it would be herp enclosures.

Now, the only issue i found with this was the bulbs.. any idea how i could mount bulbs in this thing?

I was thinking something like this.. of course i don't wear a mask and feed lizards and scorpions to my herps, but i was thinking of doing a cage like this.

EDIT: sorry, i'm having trouble posting the vid. so here's the link, mods feel free to change.

Beautiful setups... Guess i got some work to do now, eh?

now... for desert animals, do i need to seal the walls? or will the low humidity be not a problem for rotting?
