how about some slabs of corkbark and plastic plants? I know that petco sells fake cactus with soft spines. You could try making it look like a desert vivarium. How did he lose his other 3 feet?

Something I just quickly thought of for this, no clue if it will actually work as I am not used to this small -- I keep an iguana who is much bigger than your Bearded Dragon will ever get.

Cheap and easy to clean.

Take a somewhat large piece of burlap and make it into an interesting shape -- wad it up, twist it, tie it, hang it, drape it, etc. This will make the fabric into an object with a bunch of holes, crevices to crawl into, and places to climb onto while being easy to grip but still a soft landing pad. If you have means to sew it make pillows of a bunch of shapes and sizes and stuff them with wadded up burlap or other another pillow made of finer fabric like canvas to hold the filling.

If you are really ambitious you could work some heavy insulated wire into the weave so that the fabric will start to take and hold a shape.

I say burlap here but any fabric with a relatively open knit, weave, or crotchet would work.

I have used burlap and canvas in my iguana cage for 4 years now with great luck. I cover ramps and shelves with burlap as it is so easy to grip with claws. As long as the fabric is the same distance away from lighting and the lizard safely is there is little no fire risk, if any.

spike was kept with some larger Bearded Dragons at the pet store and they ate them thinking they were food I guess. he does get around real well but he doesnt have toes to grip with except for the one foot. i may try the burlap thing.
thanks

You might also try making some ramps and shelves from flat peices of flat rough textured stones. You could epoxy them together so that they couldn't fall. The ramps could circle the sides and back of tank coming back to ground level on both ends. This would also enable you to have a basking platform closer to the heat and UV source.

I made some stairs out of slate that I cleaned very well that lead up to my Bearded Dragons hammoc. I also have a fake plastic plant in the corner, and a piece of slate for her to bask on. I also hot glued the slate stairs together so they wouldnt fall over. Heres her cage.

if all he has is a basking area, you may as well give him a hiding area, half logs make a great hiding place...

Doesnt look like Petsmart offers them online, atleast not right now, but im sure they will have them in stock...

you can see some of them in this picture...

thats a nice setup above. You could also get some styrafoam and some grout and make your own designs that are perfect for your lizard
