    My 4x2x2

    This is the 4ft x 2ft x 2ft cage I made for my bearded dragon Lucy. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Anyways...













    Also, please let me know if you think I should create a DIY for this enclosure

    Re: My 4x2x2

    Ill most likely make a DIY with a more extensive list but..
    3/4 in. Birch plywood
    1/4 Plexi and door track

    and uhh... haha I dont even remember the names of things, but if a few more people want it, I'll make a detailed (and I'll find the names) DIY.

    Glad you guys like it

    Re: My 4x2x2

    Is that Silicone for the grout?

    I'm thinking of building a 4x2x1. Trying to decide if I want to heat under the 1/2 plywood, or tile and heat under the tile.

    Yes, that is silicone which is usually the better choice because it makes the tiles easily removable and doesnt weigh much. I have a heat mat under the last row of tiles (to the right), you can see they are raised. What do you plan on putting in the enclosure? Your answer could determine whether you want tiles, want to do 1/2 of it heated, and if you want it only one foot high.

    oh yeah, I see the raised tiles now in picture 1 and 2.

    I was planning on putting a divider in the middle and housing a Ball Python on each side. I could run heat tape under the back row of tiles.

    I like the silicone idea. Seems a lot easier than actually grouting in there
