What type of cages does everyone use? I would appreciate any feedback and pics yoou could share with me... I am currentlyt using a 55 gallon aquarium and don't like it much. I'm not really into building them but am open to that if I can't find decent caging that is fairly reasonable.

Thanks guys,
Robert Wood

I use a 90gallon tank for my adult dragon - it works well, although i would prefer something wider and lower.

I have my juvi in a 20long, but he will be going into a Vision cage soon.

I personally really like the vision cages, andother similar molded plastic cages - but they are VERY expensive.

I used custom built cages, work much better and cheaper. First one I had a friend build for me years ago before I moved to my current location and had to sell the dragon I had then.

The second cages are three I built (nowhere near as pretty as BDLvr's cages which he has shown in many of his responses in earlier threads below.) but they do what I need them to do.

Cages are 5'x2'x2' for the first one and bottom one in the stack, the other two which house blue tongue skinks, are 5'x2'x18"

Melamine cages are great to hold heat and they are reasonably priced pre-built or for DIY. I believe the only downside to them is the weight.

IMO, plastic or poly cages are best but like other reviewer's stated earlier they are on the expensive side. Most are one-piece seamless designs. They hold heat well and are lightweight. Lots of color choices out there too. They are well worth the investment.

I am finding that my investment in Showcase cages was a good one. They are lightweight, easy to clean and attractive. Mine are stacked 3 high.
