Bearded Dragons cage help

DeesBalls · 10-01-12, 04:27 PM

so i NEED to redo my bearded dragons cage... he is in a 4x2x2 melamine cage with a 150 watt MVB. heat is fine stays aorund 110-115 basking, and cools down to around 70 at night... as many of you know my beardy is anti social from h3&& and doesnt tolerate handling, which is not a big deal to me, but i need to give him a good cage...

I KNOW MY CAGE IS NOT CORRECT!!!!!!!!

here is a pic DeesBalls | Facebook

this is from my facebook page for my animals, so please go look...

i want to either do linolium or tile. not too sure ive tried ALOT of different substrates and dont like any of them.. the potting soil i have in now was/is a temporay thing from when i carried the cage downstairs i needed to fill it with something after i ruined the carpet that was in it... so that will go..

i want to add another light, for at night... getting to be cooler outside so want to keep the cage around 70 at night then up to the noraml day temps...

again, please throw out advice, do NOT BE NEGATIVE- i know it is wrong. Let me know suggestions guys, thanks!!!

Is that 2 cages, or 1 big one? What's the substrate?

I switched from repticarpet to ceramic tile and am so glad I did. Cleaning is a breeze. I pull the tiles out and wash them then put it back.

You didn't seal them down at all?

Nope. They are just set in place. She can't move them at all. It was suggested to me by another member here and I have had her this way since last March. Works great.

No it's one cage. He climbs the log to get to the second level. its not my viv its a friends. i saw it and took picture, It has reptile sand in it, the beardie is just popping out at the bottom left side.

okay, thanks you two. the cage is awesome looking, but i alreayd have a 4x2x2 cage built, i just need help with the insides of the cage, and decor.

i want tile, i may try and do that- but where can i get the tile cut, if needed?

Don't bother cutting it. Mine is overlapped. Cost me $11 for all of it.

oh ok, awesome!

I had half tile and half sand, tile stayed warm for a while at night after lights out.

What's your question at this point? If you want ideas of how exactly to set it up, try Google Images for "bearded dragon setup" or something similar. Helped me with ideas for my leo.
