Just built a New Viv! All pics from start to finish.

Where'd you get the base for your heat lights for the inside? On mine I cut out a section on the top and just have the dome cover heat lights sitting on top. Have my uvb bulbs inside.

It's basically a 2 bulb holder like this (without the electrical box or sensor):

3/4" white melamine. About $35 per 4x8 sheet. Easy to work with and easy to clean, but heavy as sh**!

k thnks do u have an idea if partical board would be ok

I'm pretty sure that melamine is just particle board with a veneer. If you use just particle board the only main difference is that you don't get the smooth white surface, and it might be a little tougher to clean easily.

Make sure you have a way to keep the dragons separate because they really shouldn't be housed together. They can really hurt, possibly kill, each other.

Yes thanks. That's why the enclosures can be blocked off as separate enclosures.

But in the year that they've been together, there has been NO aggressiveness that I've seen. They're all females and have grown up together too.

No, I'm not naive, I know stuff CAN happen and I'm prepared if it does.

Well, here's as close to finished as it'll get!! (Of course I NEVER stop tweaking stuff). I put the trim on and added a few things inside the viv.

Yes I noticed that your set up looked like they could be separated, and I in no way intended to imply ignorance or naivety on your part. I only wanted to make sure he also took those measures in his build, because if he did not build with that capability it could place him in a precarious position later.

I love the molding that you used, and admire your carpentry skills. Best of luck with your dragons. I hope that they continue to get along so well.
