I am having a custom enclosure built and am thinking of two 100W Oz Black ceramic emitters at the top hooked up to a Microclimate B1. I went for the two for redundant reasons, so if one fails the other continues. The enclosure will be 1.4 metres tall. What is the heat penetration of the ceramics, would it radiate to the bottom of my enclosure? I am also going to have one 40W Oz Purple on a timer for night viewing. A three foot fluro will be also on a timer for the day. Is this an OK setup or do you think it needs some re-think?

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-06 Location: Melbourne Gender: | | | | I have a 100W ceramic and a 150W oz Purple and a Compact UV . I use a micro climate B1ME thermostat. (also ceramics last heaps longer than light bulbs)
My cage is 4ft tall, I heat it at around 28 degrees 3/4 of the way up the cage for my diamond, and it is able to keep that temperature well. But in winter I also have a heat mat on the floor for those really cold days (I am in Melbourne).
When you are making the cage just put in an extra light fitting which you can use just incase you cant get enough heat. Its easier to do it when you make the cage than later (as I found out).
But the bottom of my cage is pretty cool still and my snake never tends to go down there much, which is good, as i get to see him pearched on his branch or fake rock wall.
