I need your help, I know it has been discussed in past posts and I would read them and I 'thought' I was taking note but my memory fails me.

My husband and I are about to build an indoor enclosure for our BD. What are the best dimensions for an adult BD (right now he is on the edge of being a juvie/adult. I know a 50 gal is the best size if I was going that rout but we need actual measurements. Or if you have any good sites we can read up on for making a cage that would be really helpful to.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

I make my cages for dragons out of 3/4inch melamine white
4 ft by 2 ft internal base
so I cut my wood to
BASE wood, 51.5inch by 24.75inch
TOP wood, 51.5inch by 24.75inch
BACK wood, 48inch by 22inch
I cut risers, 4 of them, 6 inches wide and 22inch high
I cut 2 front bars, 51.5inch by 3inch

start with BASE attach 4 side risers
attach the TOP, nail it all together good
with the 2 front bars, attach then on the top and bottom of the front
I use screen and nail guns to cover the 2 side parts that are open between risers.

With the white melamine iron on strip, I cover the raw wood
I use 1 8ft long 1/4 window bracket, cut it in half, and use 2 1/8inch plexi glass doors to slide side to side.

total cost per cage 80 bucks

Bigger is always better. I use 4' x 2' as a minimum but built the largest enclosure that fits your space. Your dragon will thank you for it.

floor space deffinitely minimal of 4'x2' interior size or go for larger. My dragon cages are 5'x2'
