Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

IMO that's not only an awesome looking cage, but also plenty of room for your dragon.

My only concern is with how tall it is. 12" in my opionion is not tall enough. Beardies like to climb and it also might be hard to keep the temps low enough with the basking bulb being so close. Other then that sounds great, maybe they have something close thats about 18" tall

Actually they do have a 18" high one, I was debating on getting that one or getting the 12" one instead..guess I will go ahead and get the 18" one. Yea they r kool cages especially with the sides on them liek that..go to their website and you will find ALL kinds of cutouts not just the bearded dragon one but an iguana one, geckos, tumbleweeds, plants, just different kinds PLUS THEY ARE AFFORDABLE!!!

They are very cool looking and I love the dragon cutouts. My only concern would be lighting. Where do you put the lighting? Can't put it on top, side or bottom. So that means you have to put the lighting on the inside. With the cage only being 12" high it won't work out. Let's say you have the slim fixture which is about 1" and then add a lightbulb, which would be another 5-6". That would place your bulb approx 6" from the bottom. You going to cook your dragon even with a low watt bulb. Even the 18" high one would be pushing it. Having the light fixtures on the inside of the enclosure requires at least 24" height and 48" width to get proper heating for both the hot and cool ends of the enclosure.
Also, the plexiglass sliding doors will get scratched beyond belief.
I am in no way putting down his design because I think it's totally awesome. I just think that it could be tweaked a little bit. It has a ton of potential!!!

IMHO, it's a little small, but doable for a 15" dragon. 48" long and 18" wide is the mininium, and that's kinda small. I prefer 48-72" long and 24" wide and 18" high or higher for my MVB tanks. Is your dragon older and not going to grow?

Hey Rebel, go check out the site. You have several options of cut-outs for the top, but I agree if you are getting one of those cages it wouldn't be a good idea to get one without any cut-outs.

I went and checked out the entire site this morning. I had no idea he had so many custom choices!!! I like seeing that he has the larger dimensions available too. With the proper dimensions and overhead lighting the cages should work out fine.
Anyone who gets one, let us know how they work out.
