My $50 Enclosure - 4'x2'x2'
It costed me around $50us to make this. Very easy to build, only took a few days.
Melamine 3/4" - $20-25
Plexi & Rail - $15 - Plexi was $12 for a 4'x2' piece
Bed-A-Beast - $8
Everything else I pretty much already had
Still need to put frames around the screen and do a few other things, but you get the idea. Simple and effective:

sweet, you might want to cover that light.....and add a hide, one on the hot side one on the cool side.........
My enclosure is that big........a P.I.T.A (pain in the a** ) to build! still have to find a specific epoxy to finish it!!!!

Awesome cage man! You definitely have skillz!
But if that's a Beardie cage man, USE the space! Last I checked, Beardies can't fly. So you have all the upper part of the cage that's just empty, useless space. Why not build a rock tower (or two), or attach a HUGE piece of driftwood from side to side with basking lights shining on it? 2/3 of the cage isn't even being used!

Great point Jeff. Or put a shelf in about 1 foot up and about 6-8 inches wide.

Jeff,
Great suggestion! I had definately thought of doing something like that, adding a shelf or something. As I said though, the cage isnt complete so decorating some more was definately in my near future plans. This will soon house 2 beardies. The only thing is, I dont think It will get used much becuase they spend all of there days basking under the light, then again I could always put in another basking spot  . I will definately take some pics though when it is complete....
