Changes to dragons cage!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is well!

I decided to try something with my girls current enclosure instead of buying a new one entirely!

She seems a bit happier! However, I have realized that she’s a bit on the lazy side! Suggestions?

Your tank looks good -- does she dig in the pellets? I still would look at upgrading her tank -- optimal size for a full size dragon is a 4x2x2 tank

Unfortunately I currently have no space for a bigger tank!

I believe shes in 40-60 gallon tank! She occasionally does go to the pellet side! There’s days she wants to get out!

I would get her out as much as you can --if you can get a measurement of the tank and give me the dimensions L x W x H I can give you the gallon size -- if shes not using the pellets so much she may not like them -- I would take them out-- are you wanting a dig area for her?

Yes, somewhere she can also feel cooler!

I do try and take her out often! Main reason I decided not to go with a bigger enclosure in doors! I got a house to be built outside so she can be out there occasionally “when its not 100 degrees or hotter out”

As well because we have no space for it too!

Please please be careful with outdoor enclosures... remember that being behind glass, and even plexiglass, is like being under a magnifying glass in the sun. I saw an incident recently that really broke my heart! Someone mentioned that a net enclosure would be better, but even those usually come in black... and black draws heat... just saying

What a cutie!! I would also reccomend trying to make space for a bigger tank. 4x2x2 is ment to be a minimum. Maybe consider replacing the pellets with a reptile safe sand, much more natural as that's what they would have in the wild!

You basically just want to replicate their natural envroment as much as possible, so maybe a few bigger rocks or branches that can be used to climb on over/hide unnattural looking features and stuff like. You're doing a great job though, nice to see you're making an effort and seeking advice to make ur lil pal as happy as possible

And to second that other comment just be super careful with temps having a tank outside/in an outhouse building!
