I only quickly skimmed over Jeremy's response. I'll assume he covered most of it.



I do agree that separate cages is a better idea at the sizes you need.



If you can find some scrap linoleum that is a good choice. I would not buy it new. Vinyl film is not quite as durable but is so easy to repair, making it a great choice. I do have some extra that I would gladly sell you at cost but the shipping may be prohibitive. I'm not a big fan of tile board unless it can be replaced easily. If you do go with stacking cages I have a design I might recommend. I won't discuss it unless that is what you go with.



I also recommend RHP's, but also consider the new ceramice heat emitters that are encased on the hollow metal reflectors. ReptileUV.com sells them. I have heard you don't need a bulb guard for these but I'd still use one personally.



And yes, you can fit the locks inbetween. The glass usually fits a bit loose. That combined with the natural gap leaves room for a lock.
