I am hoping to upgrade my bearded dragons tank to either an 80 gallon tank or 120 gallons, but so far the only thing that comes up is zen habitats .I did find them to be a little pricey for the material they use. and by watching review videos, they seem to be a little flimsy for $349. I did appreciate their great customer service when I was asking questions! Does anyone have any other enclousres that are affordable and durable? I am trying to avoid all-glass tanks because they are heavy and my beardie is very paranoid (as a male) when he sees his reflection.

https://carolinadesignerdragons.com/ these are all glass and I understand the heavy
I have not seen any of the last 3 I posted or heard of anyone getting one ---
I have 2 Zens and I love them I use the PVC ones --- just make sure you do not get anything lower for height 18 inches --- anything lower your going to have issues w/ heat and UVB placement optimal is a 24" height --- and floor space ---

Personally as someone who has two bearded dragons in zen habitats, i'd say they are definitely worth the money and are pretty sturdy but definitely flimsy. They are nice because you don't have to worry about reflections, they have sliding doors, and so on. Just some reasons to balance the pros and cons. Good luck finding an enclosure!

The talking serpents one looked nice, But I think I am looking for a lighter color. I might go with Zen habitat It seems to be pretty universal when it comes to the price.

Zen habitats are my favorite, ive only bought one enclosure from them, but have had almost every enclosure out there ,if i ever get any other larger reptiles or pets they’ll be going into a zen, and flimsy? What are you doing to ur enclosures? Lol, i have 30lbs on top of mine, 60-80lbs worth of stuff inside of it, I haven’t noticed any bowing or warping…..

my Beardie is quite destructive haha! That is good to hear. I was inspired by your enclosure idea to put some different texture for my Beardie!
