Hey everyone. I am looking to refurbish an old dresser or entertainment system into a viv for my baby beardie so he has enough space as he gets bigger. I haven't gotten the actual dresser yet, but I had some questions and needed to do some research before I start the project. My first question is do I need to seal the wood in a special way before having heat lights on it? I don't want to have the wood warp or get dry and catch fire or anything like that. Another question is what are the best recommended dimensions that I should be looking for? Thank you for your help!

I would seal the wood with a couple of polyurethane layers to protect it from moisture. I would look for something that is relatively tall. I'd shoot for at least 4'x2'x2' but 4'x2'x4' would be better so you can provide plenty of climbing areas.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
