Default possibly the cheapest viv built EVER !!!
my dad went over to ikea and bought a few pieces of wood... knocked them together and got this...

cost him under£5 COMPLETE even with the bulb and mesh to make guard...

most expensive bit was the glass door at £1 !!!!!

the uv is not included in the price :P obviously.. but everything else is






little fellas settling in nicely.. straighjt under the bulb for a bask :P

cheaper than a RUB !!!

peace

James

Nope but the UV from the sun is strong enough to penetrate right down to our ground level. Light from UV tube is only good for 8-12" (dependant on bulb, although some claim further). Every inch away from that bulb sees a drop in beneficial UV for the animal. Baby beardies especially need a good source of UVB.

I too would either move it down or build stuff up so they can get closer to it.

Good build though!
