Great, thank you both for the advise.
How can I tell if a log/branch is cedar? I'm a bit clueless on tree identification.

Use foam to create the ledge/shape, grout and seal it. I would use magnets instead of suction cups, you can get some really strong ones that you can mount in the ledge and then on the other side of the tank.
I'd love to, but I doubt I could make anything that looks even half decent. Maybe I can practice a little with some simpler ideas. But the cage is going to be in our living/dining room, so I really want to make a bit of a centerpiece out of it, and get a really nice

The last time I tried some DIY pet toys was when I tried making a tunnel system for my ferret. All I had to do was cut some holes so I could fasten tunnels to the cage walls with zip ties, and I cut myself pretty badly (and have the scar to show!). So DIY is not exactly wise for me. But I would like to have a try, at some point, to make some custom stuff for my Beardie.
CooperDragon, thank you once again. I went with 8.5" dome to start with. I brought two (one for the basking bulb and one for the CHE). I'm wondering about something - do I need a temperature gradient for the night? Or is it okay so long as one side is no cooler than 65? Can the other side be colder than that?
