Here's a cage for my bearded dragon "Lexi" I built last month. It's 5'Long x 2.5'Tall x 2'Deep. Made it out of birch.

You did a great job on that cage...not to mention your woodworking skills are incredible. And your bearded dragon seems to like his new home too!

Very very nice job!!

Thanks for sharing!

first of all the cage looks great, but on to the questions where did you get the plants i havent seen that style around me
and i have been trying ti find vents like that but cant, im usually geting from lowes but i cant find them, only square ones. what department are they in?

Lowes has the ones I use in 2 and 3 inches. Mine are called soffet vents. At our lowes they are near the roofing and soffet stuff. They are aluminum. If I am not mistaken, the black ones like Steve used go on the end of 3 or 4 inch corrigated drain pipe. They would be in that section with the pipe. Derek

Depending on what you are keeping and how much humidity you need, I have six 3 foot cages with 2 very young hog island boas, 2 adult graybands, 1 adult corn, and 1 close to adult Chihuahua mtn. King. I have two 3 inchers on the back, and one 3 incher at each end of most of them. Derek
