It is a large glass fronted VivExotic style one, and just wondering if wrapping the top and side in some sort of insulation will help to reduce energy consumption of the enclosure? As it is controlled by a thermostat I have assumed it will...

    Buying a bearded dragon 5ft kit

    Hi all, I'm looking at buying a bearded dragon and I am struggling to find a 5ft enclosure with all the things you would find in a starter kit. All starter kits I have found are too small, and any vivs that are 5ft don't come with the accessories. I really don't want to have to buy everything...

    Vivarium sizing

    So I’m really confused with the sizing that a dragon needs. I’m gonna buy one that an adult dragon would be comfortable in so 4ft, however would the depth and width still need to be 2ft? Like could it be 4ft but then have the other measurements be less than 2ft. I want the dragon to be happy but...

    Safe sealant for vivarium

    Hi, thinking about tiling and grouting the floor of my dragon’s vivarium using slate tiles. Does anyone have suggestions for a safe sealant I can use to seal the grout and tiles? I’ve heard you can use polyurethane, but I can’t find that say non-toxic, are there any particular brands that...

    Building my own enclosure?

    Hi! My beardie, Zeppelin, is growing fast! I’d like to get him a bigger enclosure but I’m also thinking about asking my family for help with building my own. I’m wondering what stuff I should use and if wood planks are better than glass all around? My boy doesn’t do well with his own reflection...

    New to the group (and a little excited!)

    I have an eight year old male beardie called Coorah (we thought he was a girl at first!). We bought him and his sister when they were babies, unfortunately Luna isn't with us anymore. I ended up taking care of him when we split up and Coorah sadly spent most of his life confined to his vivarium...
