looks nice
can i just make a few comments(and dont want to seem nasty theyre constructive)
the shelf is slippery and seems too small for a beardie full grown
also
the lights when guarded and with bulbs in seem to be pointing past the shelf so it does not seem an ideal basking spot
apart from that it seems a well made viv well done

I took the picture at a weird angle because there was no room behind me,
the shelf is alot bigger than it looks in the pic ( i changed the size 3 times to make sure it fitted a full grown)

and thanks ill think about covering the shelf with something to grip onto.

cool maybe light sandpaper would help in filing nails down
or failing that rubber grip stuff
all the best to you looks like it's gonna be a good home

it looks fantastic so far,what will you be using for a heat source at night? we built a big tank for our beardies a few months ago,very similar design only where you have the two shelves why not create like a rope bridge from one end to the other? we did and it means your creating more floor space. if you get the chance it's xander1796 on bebo and just have a look through the beardie pics and maybe you'll get some ideas but it great that your building your own tank, it's like grand designs for reptiles lol let me know how you get on
