I know this forum doesn't get nearly as much love as the bp one does, but you guys have always been really friendly and I feel comfortable here!

I'm getting my first baby beardie on Wednesday and I'm struggling to get her new home together. I tried making a few fake rock structures with styrofoam but that didn't work out. I don't have the time or patience and after three attempts I gave up. My enclosure is 24 inches high so it's hard to find any wood etc. that will let her get close enough to the basking/uvb lights. It's been a frustrating process and I almost gave up, but then I came up with this...




It's made using pieces of a wire storage unit. It's open beneath it and on top sits a piece of slate and two bricks to hold it down. It's placed directly below the dome light with a basking bulb and the uvb strip light (which is hard to see, but it's open at the back so nothing is blocking the light). The ramp is just sitting there right now. It's a piece of wood I found in my basement that I'm going to clean and staple fabric to so she can climb it more easily.

Problem 1. Securing the ramp. Not sure how to. If I had any tools at all, I'd probably drill two holes and just tie it on to the wire cube, but I don't...

At the bottom is a cave of bricks with a piece of slate on top, so she can have somewhere to hide and sleep.

Is this okay for a first attempt? I'm going to keep working on an awesome styrofoam structure but I have no idea how long it'll take me. Will this do until I get that finished??

Thanks for your help.

Also! Here is the little girl I'm getting.
