Thanks for all the info on your site. We already have a jacksons chameleon and i wanted something a bit bigger. You guys have convinced me on getting a beardie.

Ill make sure to ask alot of questions before my purchase to make i get it right. I plan on having my viv set up in advance to make sure my heats and lighting are correct.

Would i be better off starting off with a large viv or stay medium range till it bigger?

Im thinking on building my own instead of buying. And i will be getting a baby. Around 5 to 6 inches long. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You can get a big one right away to save on expense and just section it off. What kind of lighting are you thinking of getting?

Looking at an 18 tube. Seen where the spirals seem too cause problems.

Sorry, thats for my UVB. Still checking out basking options. So much difference between beardies and our chameleon

Ill second, start with a big viv, they grow so fast and if you buy small at 1st youll have to upgrade within months and that also implies re-doing the loghting, rechecking temps for the bigger space etc........... Start big and it gets done ONCE

When you buy a UVB, get the repti sun 10.0 linear tube and make sure it spans at LEAST 1/2 the length of the viv and PREFERABLY 3/4 of it.

Thanks for the input. It will be awhile before im done with it due to the chameleon needing a larger viv and a new misting system. But when im done ill post pics to make sure everything looks good before i go pick out a dragon
