Aquarium or wire?

Nykole Jan 26, 2004 06:38 AM

I have been researching BD and I have a question about the habitat. Which is better for the beardie: a wire cage or an aquarium? I think it would be hard to keep the temperature good in an all wire cage........
Help replies appreciated,
Nykole

I would go with glass for several reasons. They'll hold heat better, you don't have to worry about toes getting caught in the mesh and torn off, and you won't have to worry about problems with nose rub as much (not that they do it anywhere near as much as water dragons). And as an added benefit, when you sit there and stare at them, it will filter out the UV rays so you don't pose as much of a threat to your eyes.
