Well the placement of the lights is not THAT big of a deal- as long as the UVB reaches the majority of the cage - it should be fine to place them where ever you desire. I put mine all the way in the back and against the back piece of wood. The problem i come across is that i cant really move any...
You can pick which ever one you like, if you go with the balck - just expect to put some kind of "wall paper" in side for the lizard - i put bamboo sides and a back ground picture of the desert in mine...i would go with the black if you want it to match all of you furniture
Thanks for the kind words, the lights are just normal spot lights, i went with the 40 watt bulb so that i could obtain the proper temps for the dragons, 75 and 50 wattb ulbs were too hott. The long bulb is a special bulb...Its a UVB bulb, the best type to use for this type of bulb for this is...
Hey your welcome man, I only re listed the plan in a more detailed manner, the real credit for these plans go to "dvandriesen" who made the original plans. But in my opinion, the MDF Melamine was easier to cut and drill. It was a cleaner working wood. But I DID make 2 VIV's. One was out of the...
Yeah Temp controll would be a small problem as well, I meant to add that into my last reply...But yeah as far as basking spots go - I'm just using rocks, I had some landscaping rocks out side, that I washed really well and put in there. The main Basking rock is long and thin - almost like slate...

Hey there - Are you the actual guy who made the crossfire enclosure plans?? Thanks for the positive feedback. I personally found your plans to be pretty simple - how ever, I was finding as I constructed the VIV's that there were things that were not so clear on your site. So I just decided to...
Yeah thanks, at first i was like "hmmm" - but after i thought about it - thats what i came up with so...
... cant wait to see your pictures. Dont hesistate to ask me any more questions... glad i can help.
