Hiya,

Confused Is a 36"x18"x15" viv big enough for a single beardie, cos we are looking at getting a new one as the one we have is just a starter one and it has a mesh sliding lid which TEAL'C likes climbing upside down and he has fallen off a number of times, it is also hard to control the heat for him.

Cheers Steve (the slave for Kaz) Evil or Very Mad

is that 18" wide? (or tall?)

If it's 36" long by 18" wide, I would say you would be ok for a single bearded dragon but it would give you less room errors in husbandry, with such a small space you need to be 100% with your heating and set up etc.

I would advise you to buy as big a viv as you have the space for, if you could increase the width to 24" that would help a lot and 48" by 24" would be perfect.
