Nothing from bunnings is good for plant growth , lighting shop or Aquarium / petshop are better places to go.

I think that's wrong assumption!
It's not about the store, but what they sell.


Most people think just because it's Bunnings, they won't have anything for fish or reptiles...
Well, I don't particularly buy from Bunnings much, but I have to admit that buying this 7,500K (kelvin) Nec tube for $7 instead of the $30-$40 from a pet shop was a good find!

Check your local decent Aquarium shop, and ask for a tube to grow plants and you'll see they're all above the 6000K.

I was reading this article/test results of SA Fish and Reptile:
(Registered Laboratory, South Australia) when my laptop crashed:

"...Improves the natural colours of your reptiles by a 6500 Kelvin full spectrum light with a high colour-rendering index."

what sort of humidity are in thoses tanks?? would it be good for a gtp at all? or anyother python that can stand humidity? darwins? gts? bts? would be to humid for EDW yeah?
 
Viridis, D. punctulata yes with the right set up.
Any other carpets no.
Water Dragons no.
Boyds and Angle Heads yes.
Prickly Forest Skinks, yes
Chamelon Geckos if you can afford them, yes.

Think species that live in wet moist habitats all the time.

Moss growing up the glass walls....

Serious question, why do you say no good for water dragons?
My EWDs are constantly in and out of the water feature I have in their enclosure now, how would something like this be different?
 
Thought id revive this thread with a question.
Im looking for hardy plants to put in my setup, so far i have bromiliads and 2 types of aquatic plants but im looking for something nice and strong like the broms but able to hand a fair bit of moisture
