This is what it looked like when I designed the cage in AutoCADD
I think it turned out pretty good. Please let me know what you think

I did see the cage in person at the show this weekend and it was quite impressive..I especially liked the climate system.Well done!
I should add some of the specs to this post.
Cage is 6'L X 2.5'D X 3' H
Helix Supersystem for heating and lighting with sunrise and sunset light dimming
Overheat Programming module and fan
temperature night drop
2 160 watt basking lights one on each end (at some point will be changed to powersuns)
2 48" verilux UVB flourescents
1 250 Watt CHE
More logs are going to be added to the cage do that the dragons can get closer to the lighting but haven't found some good pieces of wood to achieve it. This cage was built for someone else and so she is going to be looking after the interior cage layout
Let me know what you think

It looks good. I would suggest one thing though. It is nothing major, but if you could relocate the Helix to under the tank or outside the tank, you would probably get a longer life from it. Heat and electronics arent very good friends. If you dont move them, It isnt going to stop working overnight, but it may fail on you sooner then if it were in a cool area.
Also, the probe should be down lower. Keeping it up high will give you a false reading. It should be about an inch above the substrate on the back inner wall of the enclosure, on the hot side of the cage.
Those are my only suggestions. The design is great, no changes needed there. Good work on it.
