Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
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.

No. the short answer.
The long answer, No. Because they are not snakes, they need space and i don't keep healthy adults [over 18"] in anything less than 75-100gallon. Many ppl use at least 65 gallons. Floor space is more important than gallonage/height. 4'X2' is a great space for ONE. no housing together to cut corners.

Sara pretty much sumed it up for you, think of it like this..woudl you want to be kept in a closet or kept in a house with lots of room?...my point exactley, keeping them in small cages coudl stun their growth and just like sara said they arent a snale, they love room to move around, now dependgin on size mattes, I had a german giant female and kept her in a 125 gallon tank which did rather well for her, if its a baby its ok to atsrt out with like a 20 gallon LONG tank if its a subadult move up to your 55's to 65's. If a full grown adult then yes move up to a 75 or higher.

Do the math
http://www.1728.com/convvol.htm
it's a 39 gallon. you can try to squish a good adult into it, but it's not good enough for my beardies. I use 72X18X17" and 48X30X17".

Hey, you want to do it, fine. But don't come back when your beardie is constantly glass dancing and pacing and has nose rubs and issues.
Hey, you know what is a good idea? keeping a whole trio of dragons in that tank! the females will be making eggs all year round and you will save on so much space!

Sara, I know you truly mean well, but always answering in a condescending manner isn't going to help much, especially keeping in mind you're talking to a 13 year old boy. And telling him not to come back? C'mon. I have a 13 year old son.....I know what effect it has on them.  At least the kid is asking if it's OK before he actually does it....so he DOES have a desire to do it the right way. Give him a chance. 
Mark, a 30 gallon tank is much too small to keep an adult Dragon in. Not only would it be difficult to get a comfortable temperature gradient, it's just not enough room for him to play and get enough exercise to be happy and healthy. Do you already have the dragon, or just looking at getting one?
