Glass viv for a beardy???
Have seen a very nice glass viv in a pet shop, about 1m wide X 1m high X 0.5m deep (front to back), the reptile expert in the shop says it's ideal for a beardy or poss 2, but have had the one for so long alone, wouldn't have thought adding another would be a good idea.
Anyway is the above viv good for a beardy???? Valuing your judgement over someone selling me something anyday. Many Thanks. & do I read it correct that play sand is the best substrate, over expensive calci sand!!

You can use glass vivs - but...
Glass doesn't hold heat well, expect to spend more on electricity than if you had a wooden viv. You will also need to cover three of the sides, so the Beardie doesn't feel too exposed and nervous.

It's also a bit on the small size for even a single adult BD (40" x 20")...

You will also have difficulty fitting heat lamp and tube clips for uv lamp, i would go for a wooden viv 4ft wide, they do like to climb but not normaly 1 meter, if the shop is giving info like that i would stay clear of them - looks like he is trying to shift a glass viv.
What price was the viv?

The viv is too small for a beardie. They dont use height and arent the best climbers so its only providing risks giving them high branches to climb.
I would definitley go for a 4ft wooden viv over the tank in the shop!
