I rescued my 3 year old bearded dragon Shelley on March 13, 2013. Her previous owner did not “have the time” to take proper care of her. Her UV light was an Exo Terra that was over a year old, a 150 watt infrared heat lamp that kept the basking spot at 115+ degrees, and was kept on a diet that consisted of lettuce and carrots (along with crickets and superworms). All of her calcium supplements, vitamins, etc were years expired. She has a custom made enclosure that measures 46” X 19” X 19”. Here is a picture I took of her right after getting her set up at home, and her current enclosure:
I decided that I wanted to build a larger tank for Shelley since she glass surfed and enjoyed running around on the ground and climbing on everything. During that last week of March, I made some rough sketches of what I wanted her enclosure to look like, as well as all of the dimensions. I decided to build a wooden enclosure with a base and a functioning canopy. I made my way to Home Depot and had them cut four 4’ X 8’ sheets of birch into the sizes I needed in order to begin my project.
