>>I don't see why it can't be placed straight across from your cham, unless you are worried it would stress out your cham.



***yup - cham stress. I could set it up where it would be out of her view, but Luna has a jungle gym she likes to crawl around on sometiems and then she gets to see everything (then again, I could have Darwin out during that time, too - just thinking aloud



As for jutting out with the narrow end against a wall, you can still over the back of the tank with something to help cut down the viewing area for the dragon.



>>Some dragons would be stressed if there is alot of activity around them but others don't seem to care. If there isn't much traffic around the tank, it may not matter. You will have to judge from how your dragon reacts.

***it's in the bedroom and one side would be looking at my sitting/reading corner which is a small area. His tank would become one of the "walls." The other 2 sides look out into the bedroom. Very low traffic area, so I may be leaning toward it.

I am trying to avoid having to move it more than once - a bit too heavcy for me to handle alone.



>>I would wait till your dragon is around 12-14" long then move him into the large tank, unless your 29 gal tall is starting to be too small (not sure on the dimensions of a 29 gal tall to say for sure.



***30Lx 18H x 18D. He still has plenty of room and he does not run around a whole lot. I was originally not going to move him until late summer but I could not resist bidding on this setup (got it all for $65!) and don;t have a place to store it. Think I will go with the divider. I'll be moving my frog into Darwin's current tank



I had a 35gal long which I kept my dragon till she was about 12-14 inches long then moved her into the large cage I had made). You can use cardboard or a piece of wood as a divider for the large tank, just make sure it's properly supported so it can't be knocked down by your dragon, or worse, fall on your dragon.



OK, I'll figure something out. Thanks!



One more question...can i put Darwin outside in a screen cage for some sun (73 degrees - first time we have seen sun in about 2 weeks - lots of cold rain!) I just wonder if he will catch his claws on the screen. Of course I'll have branches, etc. for hin to hang out on.
