ok well the reptile enclosure i am building at school is doing pretty good. just need to find some acrylic(which is of course pricy as hell) and attach the hindges.
to provide light and uva/uvb i am thinking of going with an oz bright mercury vapour lamp just hanging from the cealing(drill a hole stick the wiring through and wire up a ES ceramic lamp holder, have it just swinging) i am thinking that it will definately be far away for any lizard to get any where near touching it so no mesh protection for it. i have a 180x120mm vent hole with aluminium vent covers on each side. i think this might not be enough ventilation to keep the cool end cool considering the oz bright, i was thinking of sticking a computer fan in the vent hole and have it on a timer with the ozbright, so when the oz bright is on so is the fan.
I am still not sure what i am going to keep but thats the plan if i go with a uva/uvb needing lizard(bearded/central netteds/gilleni).
your thoughts and opinions please,
Andrew
