A.PROPHECY Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 im going to build 3 enclosures on top of each other 3200 length, 800 wide , 700 high 3200 length, 800 wide , 500 high 3200 length, 800 wide , 500 high any thorts if the larger tank will be big enough to house 3 water dragons? there currently in a 2m by 900 by 600 enclosure thats aint big enough anymore, or other option would be build one large aviery for them but dont have a great amount of space to use. last question has anyone used that fine steel mesh you can get at miter 10, its black very fine holes. want to use this on back and sides of enclosures, just wondering if dragons nails would get caught on something so fine? cher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky2 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 would be nice to at least double the height on the waterdragons enclosure. can you mix 2 species in the same larger enclosure? (w dragons n beardies e.c.t) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 can make higher ill consider it. mixing species in small tanks like these is not a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 i have them mixed in slightly smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky2 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 can make higher ill consider it. mixing species in small tanks like these is not a good idea depends what species,have raised coastal beardies n waterdragons together many times with no problems. the extra hight helps sort out the pecking order,n with heaps of branches compounds the useable space. still.... would recommend an outside avairy any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 yes outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 ok for now ill do the indoor one, but yes i can see they would be best outdoors also with more space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloman5 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 My enclosure is 1200 high and I really wished I had made it at least 2000 high. Am going to do an extension though as mine love going to the highest spots, and only go down onto the ground to cool down and eat the bugs running around.

Insect Direct Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 yes most enclosures ive seen online seem to be more height than floor space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky2 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 could you go 1600wide+1700 high for w dragons and 2 1600w+850 high for the other 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashedaz Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Heres a pic of my newest enclosure for my beardie. It might give you some ideas. its not finished yet but ill keep updating pics. I make these enclosures to order under the name Custom Enclosures based in Christchurch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I think your better off with more floor space than height? Coastal beardies are a bit more arboreal but even so need more floor space i think. Ok for a water dragon maybe but double its width would be better. Otherwise a very nicely done enclosure.
