MetalliKate Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hey all, I am looking at getting me a dragon to add to my list of animals at home. I am needing a semi-cheap way of housing my pet. What do you all think the best way to set up a home is? A tank? How big? I wish NZ had snakes... if only ay!

broms2 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 how much you wanna spend on a set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalliKate Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well I'm not too sure really, I know for a beardy I'm looking at approx $600.00 so for the set up, I actually don't know. I have no idea where to start. Maybe about $600 - $1000, I don't know, is that reasonable, or more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slevin12 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 varanophile was selling beardys for $300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalliKate Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yea I saw that but I'm needing a set up first and they will most likely be gone when I get round to buying one :-) Do you have them? If so, what' s your set up like? Approx cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broms2 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 you can get a 4' x2' x2' glass enclosure of tm for $200 with sliding doors stand - make it uvb lighting basking light ceramic socket and lead with $2.00 spotlight or heat emitter wood etc biggest thing is insects - breed them first and you will save a lot of money!
