- MODELS: 24Lx18Dx18H, 24Lx18Dx24H, 24Lx18Dx36H, 30Lx12Dx12H, 36Lx18Dx18H, 36Lx18Dx24H, 36Lx18Dx36H, 36Lx24Dx18H, 36Lx24Dx24H, 48Lx18Dx18H, 48Lx18Dx24H, 48Lx18Dx36H, 48Lx24Dx18H, 48Lx24Dx24H, 60Lx24Dx24H, 72Lx24Dx18H, 72Lx24Dx24H, 72Lx24Dx36H, Bio Deep 24Lx18Dx30H, Bio Deep 36Lx18Dx36H, Bio Deep 48Lx24Dx36H, Bio Deep Hybrid 18Lx18Dx42H, Bio Deep Hybrid 24Lx24Dx48H.
- The Bio Deep models feature a 12” deep waterproof base. The Bio Deep Hybrid models feature 9” and 12” deep waterproof bases. All other models feature a waterproof base that is: 4” deep on the 18”H models, 6.3” deep on the 24”H models and 7.5” deep on the 36”H models.
- If habitats with water are planned, we suggest a fresh bead of aquatic sealant glue around the inside joints of the base tray for additional leak protection. We also strongly recommend a leak test of the base tray after terrarium assembly in a safe area. Heavy misting inside of terrarium will require aquatic sealant glue to the interior joints of the rear and side panels after assembly; misting should avoid the front doors. Elaborate habitat installations that create significant pressure against the walls of the terrarium can affect squareness, integrity and waterproof base tray.
- IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT TEMPERED GLASS - The 48Lx24Dx18H model has transitioned to a TEMPERED GLASS base tray. You can determine if the base tray is tempered glass by the addition of a pre-drilled drain hole with drain plug installed.
- INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS on YouTube…. Also, now with tougher cardboard and extra styrofoam for our double “box-inside-a-box” packaging for even better protection against UPS abuse. Carolina Custom Cages is a division of Carolina Designer Dragons, Inc.; a boutique breeder of bearded dragons, selections on our website.

As with all new reptile habitats, user should clean the interior with diluted working strength chlorhexidine before animal introduction. User is responsible for knowing their species' habitat-specific requirements. If habitats with water are planned, we strongly recommend a leak test of the base tray after terrarium assembly in a safe area. Heavy misting inside of terrarium will require marine silicone sealant of the interior rear and side panels and misting should avoid the front doors. Setup should be leak tested in a safe area. Elaborate habitat installations that create significant pressure against the walls of the terrarium can affect squareness and integrity.

CONS:
- STANDS: Finding a stand/desk big enough to house it was difficult, which I did end up finding an all wood desk at IKEA that fit the bill nicely (the Hemnes model if you're looking for the same).
- BASKING TEMPERATURES: The other thing I have trouble with is getting the basking spot to be hot enough and I'm already using a 160w bulb. I want temps to be somewhere around 100-110 but they're only reaching about 95. It's not bad but I still want to be able to give him the option of being warmer if he wants. I got a higher basking "rock" though that's got stairs to get him closer to the light so I think that will solve the problem for me.
- LOOSE STYROFOAM IN PACKAGING: When I took the bottom part of the tank and the top mesh pieces out of the box they were covered in tiny styrofoam bits but that's nothing a little canned air and a wet cloth can't solve. The panel pieces are individually protected in plastic wrap though so I didn't need to clean those off.
- PLASTIC FEET: I would have liked the bottoms of the feet to be lined in some kind of rubber. It slides around on the desk a little too easily for my comfort zone. I ended up getting one of my extra drawer liners and cut out 4 pieces to put under each foot to keep it from sliding since it's made of some kind of rubber. It works perfectly.
PROS:
- PACKAGE PROTECTION: The package was protected very well. There was styrofoam in the first box to keep the second smaller box inside nice and snug so it wouldn't move around. To add to that, there was more styrofoam in the second box to further protect and cushion the glass inside. All of my pieces arrived in perfect condition.
- FRONT DOORS: I love that this tank has front door options instead of having only a mesh top. I'm short so it would have been difficult for me to reach inside without standing on a stool or chair. Both of the front doors open and suction cups were given to use as handles for each sliding door. The suction cups have not fallen off since I built the tank almost two weeks ago and they are still going strong. It locks and unlocks smoothly too. I added a chain on my key to connect it to its suction cup so I can keep it in the lock at all times, but still have it connected to the suction cup in case it falls out. Otherwise I would have to take the suction cup off the tank every time I want to lock and unlock it.
- STURDY MESH TOP: The mesh is thicker than most cage tops I usually see on tanks and I really like that. I'm confident about leaving the heat lamp directly on it if I need to without having to worry about the weight of the lamp disconnecting the mesh from the frame and falling into the tank (might just be me). The top of this cage does not move, budge, or bow at all to the weight of my lamp being placed on top of it and I have the biggest size you can get. I still have my lamp connected to a stand though since I went ahead and bought one. It also looks really nice since it's black like the frame.
- ASSEMBLY: It was completely painless and easy to assemble. I'm a 100lb tiny woman and I was able to assemble it within 30-40 minutes after cleaning the styrofoam off. I needed some assistance from my fiance to get the bottom part of the tank on the desk since the bottom portion of the cage is already assembled for you (it's water sealed for you) and was too heavy for me to lift alone. There's also stickers up in a corner of every glass panel piece to designate where the panels go in the tank. Also, there's spots in the back corners of both mesh top pieces to run cords through that you can keep closed if you're not using them which was an original concern of mine.

The cage was easy to assemble and the assembled product is sturdy and handsome.
Word of caution: the box in which the cage arrive is enormous and very heavy. I had my cage shipped to a mailbox since we get a lot of package theft in our area. The mailbox people weren't too excited to receive the enormous package. I could barely lift it and fit it in the back of my largish hatchback. Ship the cage to the address where it will be used.

EDIT: I am eating crow now. The glass panels are not labeled (please save future buyers suffering by putting colored stickers on them or something!!!) I was on the verge of tears by the time I was able to get a second pair of eyes on it. The pairs are all different sizes and each pair has it's place.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO SET IT UP TRY TO RECRUIT A 2ND PERSON TO HELP! Your life will be so much easier.
Also, the background is also from them and while it was expensive, the photo is printed on photo-poster paper so the quality is great!!!!
I have no complaints!!
