    Well, the cost all depends on what materials you want to use, and how big you make it.

    How big you make it depends on the size of your lil guy :)

    You can make up a frame out of 2"x2" lengths, and stick 1/4" OSB all over the bottom, back n' sides and have a glass front.

    Then either have an open top, or a hinged or sliding top...

    How elaborate do you want to go and what's your budget? :)

    hi hows it going? Well beardies need alot of room and i find they are very socieal they need companions. What i did to make my beardie pen is took 4 peices of plywood and made a 3 story pen with sliding plexy glass front pen with stationary lights.It would cost you more then 75.00 but not that much more and it is a good design.Thanks keith

    i have both of my babies in a 40 gal breeder tank right now,
    they r 121/2 inches and 9 1/2 inches long at present..
    i want to know if moving them into a 75 gallon tank will be sufficient enough for them to be housed for a while..the tank is beautiful and right now it is housing my 23 inch iguana, we want to build her an enclosure but would appreciate some ideas..
    thank you n Happy New Year!!
