Nice.

Very nice!!!!! The only thing I would recommend is add more fluorescent lights,,, especially to the right side. You will see a huge difference in their color, appetite, & activity.

Good Job.

i agree, more light is definately a good thing. and you only have one basking site? if you are housing multiple beardies together (i hope they are all female btw) you'll need enough basking sites for one each so they dont fight

2.1 Roommates (require more cleaning up after than the dragon)

Agree w/ all of the above, AND I would like to know how you built it!

do you have a prolem with uneaten crix with all that furniture? you might want to try a longer florecent fixture, maybe even a double. If those are UVB bulbs, the longer fixtures put out more UVB. for the second bulb you can use a full spectrum light since UVBs are not very bright.

I like to provide a darker area or cave for my BDs when possible to give them the choice. when housed outdoors, they will all seek shade at diferent points in the day so it seems more natural to give them that ability indoors.

What material did you build it from, wood, pvc???

If you look real close on the right hand side you can see another basking bulb that wasnt switched on when i took the pic. It had just been put in.There are three in there, a male and my two females and the two basking spots seem fine. The two females tend to bask together as the male is quite big and likes one himself. As for the crickets issue i dont feed them crickets in the vivarium. They are all extremely tame and seem to enjoy eating out of my hand. One of the females isnt as good a shot as the other two and sometimes feasts on the end of my finger too. I also feed them on the floor as its big and they enjoy chasing the crickets round and trying to catch them. At all times they have a big plate of mixed veg and fruit once or twice a week. I am currently waiting for my first batch of eggs to hatch and am a little impatient but im sure i will manage. Beardies are just starting to be seen in more and more places over here now ( i live in nottingham, england) . When i first got my first one most people had never heard of them but now they seem to be getting more popular by the week. I wish i could get hold of some of the morphs that i see on here like the really bright colours. We tend to just have the normal phase so trying to breed different morphs ids difficult.
