I use flip down doors. What is the square hole in the floor for?

I use sliding glass. What are their dimensions? Are they large enough for an adult dragon?

Why do you have large holes in the bottom of each section? You won't be able to mount lights over the holes. The way its built now, only way to have adequate lighting for both heat and UVB is to mount the fixtures to the underside of each section, with the cords strung along the inside 'ceilings' out the back.

As for doors, the easiest would be to build a frame and staple window screening across it, hinged at the bottom so each door hangs down. Glass sliding doors could be used but you will need to router the grooves for the panes of glass.

Also make sure each section has at least 8' of floor space for a single adult. Dragons do need their room.

hi all, thanks for the replies....the hole in the bottom..lol...well these are old pictures..sorry..(this was originally supposed to be for snakes but i no longer keep them)..about the holes, i actually covered the floor with some material i bought from the local sign shop..there is a technical term, but i will call it heavy black plastic sheeting...and then i attached a piece of heat tape to each underside for belly heat...i have them controlled by a thermostat...the back is now closed in and all i need is doors..since i dont have any ventilation, i am thinking of goin with screen doors...each cage measures 3.5' x 2'...i am also using flood light fixtures for my lighting and im purchasing uvb for them today...again thanks for the replies..
