So i broke down and purchased the Large/Wide Exoterra enclosure setup at the reptile show today. I also purchased 1000 ct BSFL from a vendor who was selling them there.
I didn't use the styrofoam back piece that came with the enclosure as I wanted to make Kohaku Chai's new enclosure very close in setup to her old one. I think it turned out pretty well, though was not expecting that cross piece on the top part My T22 fixture which currently has a arcadia 12% from when I purchased it from LIghtyourreptiles.com now sits on top of it but it is slightly crooked due to that top piece on the screen.
Basking light positioning had to be slightly adjusted as well. Still all and all not a bad setup, and I LOVE the front opening doors. We wrapped the outside on all sides except the front in black garbage bag because best budget background ever.
Currently switched my basking bulb to 100W exo terra intense basking light from the 150W i had in there. Slight scratch on one of the doors due to my friend trying to maneuver the enclosure up the stairs
Going to give the person who rode me up my old Zilla enclosure as I have no place to keep it. Also given my budgeting i'm not likely to get a second beardie because I would have no proper space to keep the second enclosure.
Pictures are below.
