It should be positioned with teh low end under the basking light about 6"-8" from the bulb because wood doee not retain heat. It should wood like driftwood or sandblasted grapevine. The second thing you need is a the basking limb. If you put it under the basking light it becomes an oven, and the ceramic retains heat so the dragon can burn themselves if it gets hot. It is also inexpensive, easy to clean, and comes in many colors & patterns. It does not fray so they can’t ingest it and it does not absorb moisture so you won’t be breeding bacteria. Insert a 50W basking bulb. I use plastic shelf liner for the bottom. The bulb is just a regular fluorescent bulb that I test them with. If the enclosure had a fluorescent bulb in it when you received it you need to change it out for a UVB bulb. These are constructed in my garage and it is difficult to keep them clean and dust free. When you receive your enclosure wipe it down with a damp cloth or mild reptile safe cleaning solution to remove any dust that is on it. That won’t include any of the packaging, or the exact size of the packaged enclosure, but it will give you an idea of how expensive it can be. You can go someplace like “freightquoteonline” and just type in the dimensions and zip codes and it will give you a shipping quote. Anything larger than 36x24x18 is now too big to ship by Fedex, USPS, or UPS and has to ship freight. The shipping & handling cost for a 36" enclosure is usually reasonable but we are no longer able to ship any enclosures larger than 36x24x18 because they exceed the 150 lbs. Due to the large size of the enclosures we are charged a "dimensional weight" shipping charge and not for the actual weight of the enclosure. Also if you are not located in the San Antonio, TX area remember to include your zip code so we can get a shipping quote. Please include your contact information, enclosure size, and any options or special requests that you would like. The type of animal the enclosure is intended for is also helpful.

The other problem is that when you get a larger aquarium most people typically keep moving and storing the old ones until they break.Ĭustom sizes as well as and many commonly requested options are also available upon request. To see how to set up a glass aquarium or a pet store "bearded dragon enclosure"so it is appropriate for a bearded dragon check out the "Aquarium & glass Enclosure Setup" page. The smaller the aquarium, the harder it is to provide a proper gradient because they are poorly ventilated and retain heat. It is very difficult to get the heat & light correct and provide a proper temperature gradient. Aquariums and glass bearded dragon enclosures are some of the worse enclosures for bearded dragons. They also grow faster and larger than the dragons that are kept in bins or with other dragons in an enclosure. All of my babies are kept in 36”x24”x18” enclosures and they do very well. The only reason I can think of to sell a small enclosure for a small dragon is to sell the extra enclosure. In the wild bearded dragons are born with the outside as their enclosure and they do just fine. I know some people recommend smaller enclosures for younger dragons to reduce stress, but I am not one of them. The enclosures are designed to stack and plug into each other. These enclosures are big enough for an adult bearded dragon and many other reptiles so you would never need to buy another enclosure. The 36” enclosure has an 18” UVB fixture and the 48” enclosure has a 24” fixture. Each one comes with 1 ceramic basking fixture and 1 fluorescent UVB fixture. The standard 48” enclosure is $400.00 and the standard 36” enclosure is $325.00. The basic enclosure is all white and comes with three louvered and screened 16" X 8" vents located on the outside of the enclosure with one on the back and one on each side. All enclosures are equipped with high impact polystyrene sliding door tracks. All of our cages are constructed out of 1/2" MDF covered on both sides with melamine, and two 1/4" thick acrylic doors with Virides Acrylic finger grips. However these enclosures are suitable for many other types of reptiles and other size enclosures are available upon request. We also Make a 48" wide X 24” deep X 18” tall (base price $400.00) enclosure for extra floor space and larger dragons. The standard bearded dragon enclosure measures 36” wide X 24” deep X 18” tall (base price $325.00) to provide optimal floor space and to simplify heating & lighting solutions. Our enclosures are built for bearded dragons so they have everything you would need except the bulbs (18" or 24" fluorescent UVB bulb & 50W basking bulb) and the enclosure furniture/decorations. ![]()
