| | Seller | Join Date: Jun-07 Location: Adelaide S.A. Age/Gender: 21 | | | | I use a basking light for each beardie - just the cheap ones from coles- i find they work fine, and cause thir cheap i can have some spare, for when a bulb dies.
and a Big UV fluro above them. I use the plant light you buy from bunnings, my local herp shop uses/sells them too and i find they work fine, but you gotta change it every 6 months. |

|  | Seller | Join Date: Nov-06 Location: Brisvagas | | | Pretty much what everyone else has stated. I use reflecter bulbs made by either phillips or that other brand (sorry blank head) starts with M  . I use 60W with no thermostate but they have a large enclosure so heaps of temperature varient. I also use the fluro U.V by reptile 1 as it does both UVA and UVB. Sorry I'm not more specific ready for bed I think

heat & U.V is to length,height & width of your habitat... using a 60w wouldnt be enough for my 6ft x 3ft x 2 ft & also depends on the material it is made with... glass tanks are cooler...mdf warmer etc
ventilation is a key issue
id dont use thermostats...i surveyed heat vs watts in globes pr habitat...this also varies with material habitat is made from..
have fun! | | |
