Thanks again for all the compliments folks!
I actually have him sitting on me right now. Little bugger just escaped from his tank!I've never had an issue with a beardie climbing out an open latch in the screen lid but sure enough my guy is part kangaroo I guess, haha. I found him hiding under my bed. He didn't get too far, heh. (A lot easier to find than an escaped snake, that's for sure!)
I had him in a 15 gallon when I first got him and upgraded him to his current tank, a 40 gallon breeder. It's on the small side for an adult beardie so I will likely end up building him something in the future. For now though it's adequate...
