To Big?

My beardie is getting a massive cage upgrade, from a 40 gallon tank tocustom made cage that measures 6ftx2ftx20in. and i was wondering is it to big for him, ill also add that he is 18 inches long, 8 inches snout to vent. Thanks

As long as you can keep the temps right for him I don't see a problem with a bigger tank. I keep mine in 40 gallon breeders.

yep temps might be a big problem

That sounds great!!!

he'll use every inch of that space... the temps arent really that hard. my beardies enclosures are 6x2x2 and they LOVE it

I thought I was spoiling my beardies with a 75 gallon enclosure! Post pics of your new cage!

i was wondering what would be a good beardy size cage would be,how about the distance needed for a MVb bulb would 2' be enough or would need a raised platform of some sort? -off topic: Reptile King your avatar gets me every time soooo freakn funny!:rofl:

You can never have a too-large enclosure for a beardie. :) Yours will absolutely adore the cage! Like others have said, you may need a few extra heating elements here and there to maintain the gradient, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

I recently built my beardie a roughly 5x3' outdoor pen in addition to his 4x2x2 indoor viv. He loves it! These guys are space hogs and will use up every inch!

I'd love to see pics when you finish building it!
