I'm looking for a front opening enclosure for my beardie. I was looking at the exo terra, 36lx18wx18h. Is this too small? I wanted front opening because I'm short and I don't need to pick the lights. Any other suggestions if this is too small. Please help I want a nice enclosure for him

Hi! There are definitely some people who use that Exo Terra tank for their adult beardies. However, there's also Animal Plastics, who makes cages with more floor space for the same price as the Exo Terras.
Their Terrestrial Cage T8 has a 4ft x 2ft floor space: http://www.apcages.com/home/
Good luck with your beardie!

The Exo terra enclosure is great. I have the one that is 36L X 18"W X 24" tall. That way you can have different levels for basking & hiding. It's so nice not to move lights or fixtures. I probably open the doors 50 times a day, to feed him let him out to run around, give him water from the plastic eye dropper, put him to bed, clean his cage, etc.....

A bit small for an adult , see this for a more appropriate viv size : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=236462&p=1817571#p1817571
I'd be looking for a viv at least 4ft L x 2ft W x 1.5ft T for an adult dragon.

I have that enclosure and find it to be a bit small for an adult. I compensate by providing a ton of time outside the tank to roam around the house (with basking lights set up). It's great to have the front opening doors but if I had to do it again I'd build my own about 4'x2-3'x4'. I leave the top off of my current enclosure so I can hang the lights above it and create some extra overhead room.
