After an unfortunate 9 year hiatus of owning reptiles I'm finally getting back to it and just wanted to share the cage I'm building for the Beardie I'll be getting some time in April. Dimensions are as the title describes 5'x3'x4 (WxDxH) currently equipped with a solar-glo 125w for the left basking spot, 45w halogen flood on the right one with a zoo med 10.0 hanging on that side as well. I also installed a full spectrum led strip light for the plants (aloe and dandelion grown organically by me) while I'm still waiting for the tilandsia I ordered which I plan to do my best to glue into more hard-to-reach crevices on the styrofoam/mortar "rock wall". Also installed a "Sansi br30 30w led" for added brightness on a timer from 10AM-4PM. Left basking temp is 103-108 depending on where exactly I measure with the temp gun while the right one probably needs a dimmer since it fluctuates between 113 and 122 depending on which specific point I get the reading. Ambient temp is 85 in the upper half and 77 in the lower half with caves measuring between 71-74 degrees. Branches are collected from around the yard and woods treated with bleach solution and/or baking while being held in place by everything from expanding foam, mortar, silicone, and super glue depending on the piece. Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I already do lol
