Enclosures................Again.............sigh

Ok,

We're building a basilisk enclosure....let me know if these dimensions sound ok....

6' tall x 4' wide x 3.5' deep-------->>>This equals 619.5 gallons, there will be three basilisks inside. (1 male, 2 females)

It will also have ledges for them to rest on, and plenty of branches and foliage for hiding.

I'm thinking this is big enough, unless someone has another suggestion or any helpful hints on building big enclosures...

Try to make it a bit taller. I'm thinking of building one tall

Let's try this again. I have one WD in a 5' long by 5' high by
2.5 deep. I'm thinking I'm going to build one 6'high by 6' long by 3' deep, for just one dragon. In laymans' terms, I want to be able to walk in the enclosure. I am 5' 6"I was good at basketball till I stopped growing). I don't know how tall you are but for three basilisks, which are similar sized to WDS, I would have make sure to have enough space to walk in and
sit down somewhere and have a cup of coffee, w/out disturbing them. OK I'm going too far. I'd go for 8' long by at least 6' high by 4, maybe 5' deep. Yes, about half my bedroom this size will take, but better safe than sorry

I'm definetly going to build it as big as I can.

You can go all out and think to yourself "do I really need this room?" Then you can give your lizards room and have your coffee and quite possibly your very own artificial sub-ecosystem. Thats just what I will do when I win the lottery. I'll keep crossing my fingers too.
