Hi
So I’ve just bought my 2 yr old blue tongue a 2nd hand enclosure and need to add uv lighting to it before I can set her up in it. The enclosure is 1500x630x540 and I wanted to add a 45cm T8 fluro onto the roof inside the enclosure and drill a small hole to run the electrical cable out the back but I’m finding it hard to find a 45cm balustrade fitting suitable for UV. Also the thermostat probe I currently have is 10cm long big metal thing that would stand out like dogs balls in my new display enclosure. Any reliable cheapish small probed thermostats out there these days? Also with the basking light I am tossing up between cheap Bunnings bulbs and reptile band basking bulb for the basking ledge. I have to put in a ramp for her to access the basking shelf. The shelf it’s about 15cm from the light so quite close, what wattage would you suggest for something that close? And opinions on dimmer thermostats on bulbs? would love to here some options for what would suit this enclosure?
Thanks,
Danielle
