Very large. If you were doing a standard glass aquarium i would say a 125gallon would be best. If you want to make it yourslef, make it as big as possible. Off the top of my head i would say 5x4x6ft (LWH) or something roughly of that size. You want it several feet long for lots of running room. Pretty wide so they can turn around easily. And pretty tall so they can climb and bask

I have 3-2year old CWD in a 6 (tall) X 4 (wide) by 2 (deep)acrylic enclosure and they seem to have adequate space. Had I had more room, I would have gone to 6 X 6 X 3 but this is in my foyer and the present size was the largest I could accomodate and still have aesthetic appeal.

Thanks for the replies, i should be able to make an enclosure of those proportions. I dont have any dragons yet i just wanted to do some research before hand. i am already in the process of making a 6X3X3 enclosure for my sav monitor, i was wondering how much different it would be. Anywho, another question, how much per month, roughly, do u spend on food for your dragons? Just curious, i want to compare it to my sav

Thanks,
Jon

much cheeper than a sav, somewhere in the $15 range at the most. mine feeds off of zoophobas and nightcrawlers as her staple with the occasional pinky and/or fuzzy, she's a very picky eater.
