When I have more room I'd like to do a setup like that for beardies.

The only hting that I would watch is the heat put off by the lights. As you probably know, BP love to explore especially where you don't want them to. If your BP were to climb up to the light/heat source you have he/she will definatley burn themselves. BP will not pull off if it is injuring them. Also, god forbid if your BP were to shatter one of the bulbs. Beleive me they can. Just be careful. Try belly heat with some weat tape or even the heat wire. Heat tape is real cheap and the wire is relatively cheapo also. Awesome setup though. Good Luck!

When he grows a little he may supprise you. He could knock over some of that stuff in his enclosure and get to it. I have seen mine in some crazy positions. It doesn't even look possible for something to hold its own weight the way they have been propped up. I just don't trust anything that could hurt my BP in their enclosures. There are enough things that could go wrong when you are being extra careful. Not knocking your setup just trying to help

i know you're trying to help and im appreciate that!
although those lights are far enough it's just a funny angle and it looks like they're next the the flower pot!
thanx again and tell me if you find anything else wrong!!

Nice cage, but I can see how you would have trouble maintaining the heat and humididty in it. How's that working out for you now? Looks good but like the others I'm also not fond of having any lights acutally inside the cage. By the way, whats underneath? It looks like a double decker cage.

it's working perfectly...
i can keep humidity above 60% with no problems...i only sprayed the tank once and it was 62% at the end of the day!
yea, it's a double decker..."downstairs" i keep my uromastyx Amon!
the only thing i have to measue is humidity in the humid-hide!
i'm not sure...humiditiy should be around 65% in the tank right?

and thanx again for good ideas how to improve humidity
