New Beardie enclosure all done!

[LS84]

Here is the new bearded dragon enclosure. I built it with my dad...or should i say I told him what to do and he did it because I have no building skills other than interior decorating and painting. Its 4x2x2, made of MDF with linoleum sealing the inside. Glass doors, tiles on the bottom, a vent on each side, a florescent fixture inside and a hole in the top for her new reptileuv bulb. Got some fake plants from a craft store and drilled holes into pieces of wood as stands, which was much cheaper than buying reptile cage decorations at a pet store. The cage has legs with wheels so we can roll it around if we need to, and with the left over wood we made a small shelf underneath for storage. She was put in it yesterday morning and was petrified. She stayed in the exact position I placed her in for at least an hour, but slowly began exploring. Today when I woke up she was already basking at the top of her log. She hasnt resumed her normal appetite quite yet because its been less than 24 hours, and I think shes still a little stressed. Heres the pics.

Thanks, I wanted it to look like a piece of furniture, because one day it'll be in my own house and it will be a nice display cage. Her colors are already getting better with the new megaray MVB.

Are you going to use a soft bedding? I know with heavier lizards their nails and digits will deform from constant hard surfaces.
