What materials are best to build your own Bearded Dragon habitat?
I've got my juvenile beardie in a 20g long terrarium at the moment. I'm about to buy him a bigger one but before I do I was wondering if it would be cheaper, but still just as safe and healthy, to build one for him.
What are some good materials for the walls, floor, and roof?
Thanks in advance

Elmite wood (I think that's what is called) is best. I'm not sure what it's called. Lets put it this way, the fake wood they use on all Ikea furniture. The glass for the front will be EXPENSIVE. What I recommend doing is buying two 2footx1foot plexiglass sheets. It's weird, 2x4 is 120 dollars and 2x1 is like 15. You can get the wood if you know anyone throwing out a shelving unit, Tv stand unit etc, just use your imagination.
If you have an open roof, construct a screen roof like the one you have already, or buy one. I'm sure you can find a 2x4 screen since 2x4 is standard for breeder tanks 
Okay so..if you have it mostly wood (Back, sides and bottom) You'll probably need ONE vent in the back if you have a screen roof and ONE IN EACH SIDE if you use a wooden roof and install the light fixture inside, which can be hard.
If you have any knowledge of how wood works, you would build the sides and bottom. Across the front place 1 inch thick 1 inch high bar across the bottom front side. Install the glass behind this, and if you're using 2x1 sheets it's recommened to use a vertically places beam on the front, since you can't join the two pieces together.
Beam across the top once you're done the glassing on the front and the woodwork on the back,connect it all with a little imagination, make / buy a screen lid, and your done
Happy to help.
