Well at first I bought this Zilla Deluxe Bearded Dragon Kit from PetSmart. My dad convinced me to buy it. I only bought it because it came with three lamps, a blue basking bulb, a nighttime bulb, a UVB coil, a 40 gallon breeder with a sliding screened top, a food bowl, a water bowl, repticarpet, and beardie food pellets. PetSmart was having this awesome sale so It was originally 200 and I got it for approximately 150 (not including taxes). I thought that was a pretty good bargain because I was thinking about buying everything separate. That meant three 20 dollar clamp lamps = 60 dollars. A 40 gallon breeder = 80 dollars (I think it was about that much, not too sure though. it didn't have a sliding top either so I would have had to buy that) and that was 140 already. So I got a couple of other bonus items along with it. The cool part was that PetSmart's sale was also on reptiles, so instead of paying $120 dollars for Fiz & KD ($60 per dragon) I got them both for $60 ($30 per dragon). So I saved a lot of money there.
But I have retired my 40 gallon breeder and it is currently sitting vacant in my bedroom. My parents tried to convince me to give it away or try to sell it or something but I refused. I knew that there would be a time where a beardie who needed me would come along & I would need a tank for him, right? So hopefully soon, I'll get around to cleaning out the tank and then storing it in my closet or something. For now it's hogging space atop of my dresser.
Anyway, Fiz and KD both have custom melamine vivs now. They're similar in size and shape except Fiz's is a little bigger 8)
I don't know about KD's tank, but for Fiz's tank we had to buy:
Melamine
Plexiglass
Trim
Paint
Self-Adhesive Linoleum Tiles
Poplar for the plexiglass track
I gave my dad a $100 dollars so that's about how much we spent & created this for Fiz:
He loves it!
I don't have any pictures of KD's viv but his is made of stained wood on the outside instead of the white on this one.
I also had to buy a reptisun ($24), Fixture ($11), New Basking Bulbs for KD & Fiz (A Value-Pack of 2 Zoo-Med Basking Bulbs for $15? I think), New thermometers ($12 for KD & one I found on clearance for $3). A second Reptisun for KD ($24) & a fixture ($8) and some other stuff that I really can't remember. LOL
