Looks great!! How much was that cage if you don't mind me asking? I wanna get my dragons into a setup like that, but they're not big enough, they don't need it yet.

The Cage cost $140 ...and the Heavy duty Screen top was like an additional $18...something like that...I really love the sliding glass front doors....it makes feedings and cleanings much easier...you can get more details at the web site for GlassCages at www.glasscages.com

That's a really nice setup, the cage looks great and so does your beardie. Got to like the easy sliding doors for access. The only thing I'd be concerned with is your mercury bulb, don't let it be on too much of an angle. It should be pointing stright down, they have that tendency to blow out quicker on an angle.

It's a nice looking setup. I'm a little concerned about what looks like an air freshener sitting on top of the screen. Also are the temps. right? 75-80 on the cool side? Just seems like a lot of bulbs down there.
