what type of cage do u recommemd for a 1:3?

I recommend getting four cages, each 4'x2'x2' in size. These can be stacked if necessary. However, if you want to keep a breeding group together all the time. Once the females are all 15 months old (at least, 18 months being better), you will need a cage that is much bigger than a 75g. 4'x2'x2' is the minimum size for a single adult dragon. For each additional dragon, you want to add 2 square feet of floor space. So, for a group of four dragons, you need to add another 6 square feet to the base size. So, a 5'x3'x2 cage will give you 15 square feet which is a bit more than the minimum of 14 square feet you need. A 6'x2'x2' cage may be ok but you will be surprised how much a few extra feet can make. I housed a single bearded dragon adult in a 5'x2'x2' cage and she loved it. She had plenty of room to run around and alot of choice on what temps she could bask in as well as a cooler area.

do u have a pic. of ur cages?

I don't have the cage anymore, sold it when I sold my bearded dragon a few years ago. Had no choice, was moving to another city and had to stay with relatives for a couple months while looking for a new place. They do not like reptiles, nor would I try and force them to have my pets with me. I didn't like to lose her though, she wasn't the most friendly dragon but I still loved her.
