If you're up for diy though, the Linmon seems one of the simpler ones but does seem to need a few tools.

There's also this vivarium. 115cm by 49cm deep by 56cm tall. Glass sliding doors. I reckon you'd need to leave the roof off and mesh it for the best ventilation. A lot less diy as the doors already done.

My detolf lid cost around £40 ridiculous as it sounds, and it's just a simple one too! I would highly recommend a raised roof for a detolf though or you will really struggle/find it impossible to get much more than 6 inches of bedding in there while still allowing a syrian to stand up properly. I agree a lack or linnmon would be a better way to go really.

Or the medium sized Eco Habitat is about 100 x 60 x 60 (height is about 55 without the wheels actually). For about £130. Again the top probably needs meshing but that is a minor extra bit of diy. It's a lovely cage too.

I did buy the large eco but returned it as I knew I could make something better and cheaper as well. Those tanks Serendipity7000 linked look interesting. I think I'm going towards the linnmon idea.

Has her bar chewing settled down at all or just the same level?

I had a syrian in a barred cage with quite a low base so I put a cardboard box in the cage filled with substrate and put his house on top so that he still had a good burrowing area.

Doesnt solve the bar chewing though.

It went down by a huge amount then started again. I noticed it always was in one corner so blocked it. But she kept getting to it somehow. It was an obsessive chewing so I guessed something else was bothering her. I decided to relocate her to the living room and it seems to have died down again.

I decided to go for tank type cage so in the future it's easier to control the bar chewing.
