Keep it clean! That's the only way I've found to keep my burms cage from smelling. I gotta do something to it almost every day.

As for a cage, with the size you're talking I would simply make a box out of 3/4" plywood. Use a 1x1 in the corners if you feel it doesn't have enough support and cut the front to your liking for viewing. Use an exterior grade paint for the inside and stain or paint the outside. As for legs, I'd buy an iron aquarium stand and make the cage bottom to match the shape of the stand. It's allot easier and will look alright. I've never had a beardie so I don't know what they need for heat, vent, humid etc.

Good luck!
