Clear globes are fine to use, i use them myself, but only during the day. During the night i either use a coloured globe, or no globe. Clear globes shouldn't be left on 24 hours a day.

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-06 Location: Darwin, NT Age: 16 | | | | i think that too high, 28-32 i would think to be a good temp, what type of snake?
do normal lights work as a heat source or do you need to buy the fancy globes that are actually called heat lights and cost triple the amount of money? because on the weekend i renovated my mertens cage, and as most of you probaly know even though i live in darwin where its hot, monitors need a gradient heat somewhere in their enclosure of arounf 35 degrees or there can be long term affects such as arthritess (sorry im shockin speller) and i got a new globe old 1 was busted, and i only bought a 60watt light (for normal lighting purpose but its shaped so it directs beem in one place, it was from bunnings) and this one doesnt seem to heat very well, i felt the big rock it pointing on and its not even warm to the touch, but ive heard of other herpers using them and my dad sugested it so i tryed it.......
sorry i need this help because i dont usually need lights so i have next to no experience with them except for my mertens light

i would recoment the mercury vapour bulb for mertons will give uv as well as heat (btw i know bugger all abt moniters and dont even know if mertons need uv)
but the mv bulbs r great
