thx for that.

I noticed some of you have what looks like 4 ft cages split in 2 what do you house in those.

Basking bulbs aren't really necessary. My dragons still bask and move in out of the heated areas. yup there house hold bulbs.. another way to save without taking away from the dragons... what watt bulbs are they. lol... the bottom tanks have a 25 watt and the rest are 15 watt bulbs. Melamine wood. Keeps/holds heat and with some tricks it holds humidity! ( gotta have it for my silkies) And in the summer time i turn on the heat bulbs for half day then turn them out and leave the uv's on...

Tom have you ever had trouble or an issue with the dragons trying to touch or accidently touching the heat lamps. My cages are set at 48" x 24" x 15" and i use a 25 watt bulb. Even when its about 50 degrees here in cali 25 watts will hit the right temps, sometimes it wil take longer to hit 80 on the cool side, but gets there. In the winter when it gets down to 30- and 40 I up the wattage to 75 watts just to keep them happy.

Oh yeah and someone had mentioned that maybe you hit those temps with such low wattage because you have no vents. I have two vents on each cage 6" by 12" each space about 6inches away from each other.

Hey Armando, I think most people use the divided cages to house babies or small juvi's.

Thanks that's what I assumed but thought id ask anyways just I'm case I missed something.

No problem, I think I'll stick to my baby rack with 64qt sterilite tubs. Id have to put another adult in one of those full size cages!

Same here normal I use open air enclosures for my babies, last year I tried housing them in examine and I ran into some issues went back to open air and the problems were gone. So il be sticking to tubs as well for now. I thought I might have been wrong on the lengths of those cages and maybe they were housing males individually.
