Well here's the final result... Bearded dragon terrarium

So after a lot of thinking I decided to get little Aisha a 120x45x48cm tank (4x1.5x1.5ft).

The tank itself was $465, a great deal since it included the basking light connected to a thermostat , two night heating lights connected to their own thermostat as well, a UVB 2.0 light (been switched to a 10.0), the glass panels that are currently off and a lock.

The rest of the decorations would be around $250 all up, that much can be argued whether it's a waste or "overkill" but I prefer to capture a small piece of their habitat and put it in a tank. And as well with the presence of Father Christmas the decorations had come from a number of people.

This post is not so much a question post but something to share my "art" with all of you and hopefully inspire some. Let me know what you think and Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Looks good shoogs. Makes me all the more keen to upgrade my enclosure this coming year

Looks great, where did you get that sand from?

Done well... Looks a million bucks... You should be very happy with that as I'm sure your Beardie will be more than comfortable in there...

The sand is just standard Reptile Sand - Desert Red from a reptile store, it's not a scarce thing to come across on the internet either

Thank you very much

looks incredible mate. Crickets will have plenty of places to hide though.

I feed in a separate tank

I unleash my crickets in the terrarium where they all scamper and some manage to remain hidden for a few days. They all seem to end up as poo eventually
One managed to live for a week, getting all chirpy and noisy and then one day the chirping stopped

If you leave crickets in over night there is a fair chance they will snack on your lizard.

Leave some salad in over night and there is a very low chance of it happening, it can definately happen though so your point is valid.

Ok, thanks, good advice. There are 2 lizards in the enclosure, a 4 year old and an almost 2 year old.
I've not seen any injuries and the little bloke is out every day and gets a good inspection from the girls and myself.

There is always chives, and beans in the food bowl.
