That's not a bad looking enclosure.
The measurements would work well for a beardie. Most of my enclosures are about that size. Though I still have a couple that are only 40gal that I hope to soon upgrade.

It's a bit narrow at only 16 inches wide instead of the recommended 18 inches, but that's not too bad as long as you don't end up with a huge dragon.

Don't use the wood chips that come with that kit - you'll want to use a solid substrate if you start off with a young dragon to avoid impaction problems. If you're getting an adult dragon, sifted silica free childrens' playsand is an acceptable loose substrate option, although adults also do quite well on solid substrates (paper towel, nonadhesive shelf liner, reptile carpet, textured slate or ceramic tiles).

Very pretty. I do love the wood, it looks warmer than glass. Not physically warmer. Rats, I'm rambling. Sorry. Nice tank.

Whoops I missed that it was only 16 inches that will work for awhile, but 18 is much better. :wink:
