Ok so I'm looking at building some stack able enclosures. My first idea was 24" tall but after drawing it out I see I'm wasting a good bit of head space. So I started thinking maybe 18" tall and that would give me 1 more enclosure in total.
Currently I have 40g breeders so I know 18" will work for the dragon but with the breeders I have the lights on the out side of the tank. My dragons climb up to their basking spot to get about 6"-10" from the heat lamp so I know they can get closer it give them self more heat.
But my issue is moving the lights inside the tanks means the dragons will be 12"-14" from the light while on the bottom of the tank. This will not give them room to climb. I could mount the light on the end so it shines at a 45 degree angle but this will also make the light less effective.
Also I see some people have built their enclosures out of wood I assume you are painting the side to make it water resistant and make clean up easier.
