frills.

I'm interested in getting some frills in the future and when I build my new cages I want to build theirs at the same time so I will be all set for them when they are adults. I know I"m building it 6 feet long but will 2 feet high be alright? I would like to have a trio in this enclosure. I can go 3 feet hight but it will take away 2 the area I was going to use for 2 skink cages I was going to use above the frills. What do you think? I would love to be able to breed them in the future so I want to make sure they will be secure and happy in their space.
Thanks in advance.

At work, we never housed ours in anything shorter than 5'. Most people give them a minimum heaight of 4'. Vertical space is more important than floor space for these guys. They will use every bit of height you can afford to give them. IMHO two feet is cutting it too short for these neat little lizards.

wow, I guess I'd better do more research, I read on line a 5x4 was a good size cage. How bout if I made a 3x6, would that be large enough for a trio?That is length x higth. It would be about 1.5 feet wide.
