My poor dragon keeps getting sick. My vet told me he needs a bigger habitat and more humidity. He is in the biggest aquarium that my pet store has and I am not gifted with creativity. Please help me with advice on how to do something like you have done.

I am so glad I found this site.
Thanks,
Krypto

So ours is a work in progress, we still need a back and a way to figure out extra lighting.

Nice work !!! ...

Lighting can be as simple as an outdoor flood light fixture mounted inside....offers incandescent heat and light only. Other options can be a porcelain ceiling socket attached at the side too. That will allow lights, ceramic heat emitters and heat projectors.

If you need links and images just start a new thread and I will answer there...or PM me

Nice photos ...

Hey, another skydiver! Welcome CRWjumper! Very nice looking viv! I would add another branch tho, something taller to allow your dragon to get closer to the basking area.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I intend to get some spanish moss and some more thinner vine/branches like the big ones I "harvested" from the neighborhood this weekend. I’ll also be routing the heating pad cable through a hole in the bottom of the case (after I cut it) as well as continuing my search for an ultrasonic humidifier that I can attach a hose to and route into the case.

It was actually one huge 65 pound vine that was growing in the woods about a half mile from my house. I cut it down, wrapped it over my sholders and trekked back to the house. I then had to figure out where to cut it so I could use both halves in the enclosure.

OK. I found the Vicks 5100 humidifier, and am using a heat lamp on the outside of the case. I was able to score some more vines and some Spanish moss from the woods, and now consider the case completed. Draco seems to like it.

How often do you guys with the huge cages clean them? How difficult is this to do with all those goodies. Whats your main concern with a large cage like so? Just curious, thanks.

humdity and heat is my main concern. it takes alot of watts to heat an enclosure, larger the enclosure the more watts!

cleaning is pretty easy depending on what its built out of. outdoor carpet is extreamly easy to brush and vaccume up. its as easy to clean as you build it to be!

another difficult thinng is figuring out how to decorate!!!!

Thats what Im trying to take into consideration while I plan to build mine. I want it as easy to clean as possible. I tried making a layout of what mine will be like just to get some plans. I was also curious, how much have you invested in your enclosures?

And 87rx7chick, Id like to see a pic of that rx7 :D

Hey you guys ... what’s up ... post this in the main thread and or the enclosure building section ... we can really find you better there ... and not have to click so many times to read the latest...

I would like to offer suggestions Just... like a liner to keep the substrate off the floor ... and or as RX said .. repti carpet or whatever similar materials to make it easy.

Youcan get quite expensive or do like RX has ... and keep a tight budget...but expect it to be a work in progress with a minimum of 150.00 to make a decent box and lights and heat. The plexi , if you chose to use it gets expensive fast. Screen is relatively cheap ...but offers much less humidity capturing properties.

Ok .. enough for now ...

Figured while I was bumpin this up for someone I’d post Kitar’s viv (R.I.P.). Don’t think I ever had a chance to post it. Godzilla, our green iggy, is in it now, but we took the eco-earth out of course and put repti-carpet down instead.

It measures 5 1/2 feet high, 4 feet long, and 3 feet wide/deep, with the stand adding another 2 feet to the height.

With doors off.







Doors on.



One door open.





Close up of his pool which is a whiskey barrel fountain.



And finally a picture of the big boy himself. R.I.P. baby.



I have added a few things to the viv, like liners for the shelves and a cover for that open part in the front and a few branches and vines too.
