You need 16 wood dowels if they are 36”x5/8 unless you are combining cut pieces to make the right size for the top screens. 4 dowels per inside brace and 4 dowels per top screen lid.

I just saw this about building it and we just been doing the carpet layout for the enclosure. How do you maintain the ground mixture, do you just spot pluck any fecal matter or do you do a full change out every so often.
@kimberlygardner8392
@kimberlygardner8392 Год назад
Only got one thing I would do different, I would cut tiles and put it all through the enclosure and not fasten them. That way you can take them up when you have to clean. I think it would be a lot easier that's the way I did my first enclosure.

@@mikebuckler I waited I think 48 hours or 72 hours between grout applications. it says on the bag so whatever the bag says follow that. I did wait a couple days before applying the drylock so the grout could fully cure.

Looks good, but is any of that material safe when exposed to the heating elements required for a bearded dragon.
@ChiefSweetsUniverse
@ChiefSweetsUniverse 8 месяцев назад
Yes as the grout is pretty much just concrete really. Now I did hear that maybe the small paints I used even tho it’s non toxic may be toxic to some animals however so far 1 year later my dragon is fine and has been since. Drylock has been used for many years by reptile enthusiasts but a better option is polygems zoo poxy.

This is a HORRIBLE example of what NOT to give your bearded dragon. No hides, he can’t even climb that wall, and he’s only got 2 sticks to climb on plus 2 plants. Is that seriously all you gave him? This is NOT a good home for a dragon. My 75 gallon tank for my 3 month old baby has more to do, and more room than this apparent “120 gallon” enclosure. This is horrible.
@ChiefSweetsUniverse
@ChiefSweetsUniverse 10 месяцев назад
Idk if you didn’t watch the video she has two hides and you can even see shorts on my channel of her digging in her hides. This is a simplistic natural setup with proper uvb heat, hides, branches and proper size tank. Your confusing decoration with care. Horrible care would be using heat rocks and coil uvb.

Totally understandable that you didn't have access to a table saw, but you could have saved yourself some serious $$ with getting a whole sheet of 1/4 inch birch plywood and cutting whole pieces for the back, walls, and floor. Pre Cut boards are marked up by big box stores with a 'convenience' cost. Great Build!

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Sounds awesome and honestly, you don't need a table saw, you can get away with a small circular saw and using a couple of clamps and a 2x4 as a guide. You can make a whole 4x2x2 box from a single sheet of plywood.
