[STR4WB3RRY]

HELLO EVERYONE... I HAVE 2 ALMOST 5MONTH OLD BEARDIES THEY ARE BOTH MALES I WAS TOLD ONE WAS A FEMALE BUT......I WANT TO BUILD MY OWN ENCLOSURE FOR EACH BUT I DONT KNOW THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS THEIR CAGES SHOULD BE. I WANT TO BUILD IT BIG ENOUGH SO THAT WHEN THEY REACH THEY FULL ADULT LENGTH THEY CAN STILL FIT COMFORTABLY. IVE ALREADY SKETCHED OUT AN IDEAL MODEL FOR MY ENCLOSURES JUST NEED SOME ONE WITH A FULL SIZE ADULT BEARDY TO TELL ME WHAT A COMFORTABLE SIZE TANK WOULD BE. ALSO I WAS WONDERING WOULD A WOOD TANK ENTRAP MORE HEAT THAN A GLASS TANK ?? OR IF ANY ONE HAS A BETTER IDEA OR SUGGESTION AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS WELL IM OPEN TO ALL SUGGESTIONS THANKS ALSO WHERE WOULD I GO TO GET THE MATERIALS I NEED FOR CHEAP ? HOME DEPOT OR LOWES OR....????

at least 3.5 by 1.5 by 1.5. My cage is 4x2x2. Seems by far the most commonly used dimensions.

Your correct mate, wood is far better for the heat and alot easier to manage the cables.
