[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2020770, member: 76248"] Some dragons love to climb, and others don't. The height is certainly nice to have for dragons who like to climb around because you can introduce more temp/uvb options without increasing the footprint of the enclosure. For dragons who don't climb much, then making a more spacious floorplan makes sense. That's just kind of an individual call. As far as lighting placement goes, Set your UVB distance for optimal output and then put the basking light near it. You could either use multiple smaller baskers or a single wide beam to achieve similar effect. If you put the basking light next to the UVB, that should be good enough. They just move around to change temps and UVB exposure anyway. I have 3 side by side lights in my free range (incandescent basker, MVB, Infrared) and Darwin just moves back and forth between them. Enough of the heat and light overlap it's not a big issue. The advantage is that sometimes they like to bask under high heat but not a lot of UVB (And sometimes the opposite) so you can achieve that more easily by separating them. For the doors, I'd probably use glass in a thin frame if possible because it will better stand up to scratches and not be as prone to discoloration in the long run. If they are simple doors that are easily replaceable, then that's probably less of a concern. If you're thinking ahead to the possibility of moving them (through doorways as mentioned) you might be able to build them in a somewhat modular way. You could build a frame with grooves in the posts that you can slide the panels into. That way if you want to move the enclosure you could slide the panels out and disassemble the frame more easily.
