I'm assuming that your Bluey is a Blue Tongue Skink, if it is, is a 3 foot by 18 inches big enough? they are quite a big lizard when full grown, alot bigger than a bd and they need a 4x2x2 at least.

sorry mate, but royals are not arboreal and dont need height, they do climb but are very clumsy at it and any branches should be low down.

Hi ya,

So long as you get all your measurements right, its really straight forward and easy to build.

Here's a pic of mine below, which is heated with Ultratherm reptile radiators and the 6 sections at the top are heated with 2x heat strips for the plastice tubs.
