48" X 18" X 18"? Big enough?

I really hope so, because there is a BIG price difference between that and the 48 X 24 X 24 one at Custom Wood Reptile Cages. And space wise, the smaller one would fit better in my son's room. Thoughts?

From what I have read, thats about the minimum for one adult bearded.

an adult dragon could be ok in that size cage but you are going for less than the minimum of floor space of 4'x2' (48"x24". If your dragon happens to grow to 20" in length that cage is going to be pretty cramped, especially on the width (dragon will be longer than the width, which seriously hampers its ability to move around). I still recommend going with a bigger size. I find even 4'x2' rather small for an adult dragon.

Well, you've gotta decide. I think 4' x 2' is small for a full size dragon. When your dragon is full size you'll have to decide for yourself if your cage size is enough. There are some that think even smaller is OK. I don't agree.
