kudos to people that think outside the box and convert old furniture to a nice viv. problem is most furniture is no more than 16-18 inches in depth.

 

[tarian]

well he has 6 feet in lenth to streach out and run around . i do appriciate the kodos tho

 

[Fogles]

That's nice!

 

[tarian]

thank you, just wanted to share the fact you dont have to spend alot of money to have a hudge viv for your dragon

 

[xbryghtleax]

That's really cool! I wonder what else one could make a viv out of?

 

[tarian]

thanks, well i'm a carpenter by trade, this was a very easy option than building it from scratch, plus the recycle factor

Wow that is so cool, I have been looking for dressers that no one wants to build a viv out of .So far no luck i just want broken down furniture to.When i finally find the right piece of furniture i can get started. That stereo is a good idea. Thank you.Pamela

 

[tarian]

no problem, these sterios are easy to come by, and you can get em cheep. some are easyer to convert than others, happy hunting ps, your beardy will love you

I am almost finished converting a china cabinet into an enclosure. I just need to hang the door, and run the lights ! I wanted something like that stero too, however, they don't seem to be wide enough, so I am going to build myself a stackable xfire enclosure for two babies coming today. I figured that within 8 weeks (dratted full time job) I will have the two enclosures complete and ready for the boys.

well i have to admit it's only 17 1/2 inches wide, how wide should it be?? it's 6 foot long??

 

[zebraflavencs]

24", but that 17 and such should be enough. Many make enclosures 48 x 24 x 18".
Just keep an eye on that, if tails brush up against the sides, you may want to "add" some inches somehow.

well my guy is only about 4 or 5 months old, he was in the orriginal 20 gallon i bought him in, so were both quite happy with this for now. am gona keep my eye out for other affordable options.

Many people use a 40 gal breeder tank for an adult and the dimensions for that are 36x18x16. some use 55 gal tanks and they are only 12" deep. converted furniture would suffice and is cheap to find from a thrift store or craigs list. I see old stereo cabinets on there quite a bit. I am just looking for something that shows off the origional workmanship along with my own blend
