I think I did good!
I found some cages on FB about 2 miles from my house. Turns out the guy used to breed bearded dragons.

The ceiling:

I have another like this, and it has the fixture for a tube UVB. These are 4' x 2' x 2'.
Then there is a 3rd that is 2' x 2' x 2'. It also has fixtures for 2 bulbs and a tube UVB.
Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but I paid $40. for all 3. Too good to pass up.
I do think I'm a step closer to a blue tongued skink, however! ?
To anyone who suggests a hatchling tort...the loss of my sweet Chug, after all the other sadnesses the past 8 months, has hit me really hard. I don't know if I want another tortoise. In any case, I'm too old (almost 69) to start out with a baby. I would only consider an old tort from an adoption program.
And my friend still wants me to take her sulcata...
