Yeah im down in newport.i just noticed the manly daily? your in my neck of the woods
Pm me if you need some more help, sourcing uv, or hands on..
thanks Dave94 what do you have for night heat?
i was going to feed them in something else(with a lid)I don't entirely agree with changing the Compact UV, but thats your call. I've always used them with no problems.
I wouldn't bother with the heatmat unless its really cold where you are. I'd stick a 60w phillips reflector globe in one of the lamps and use that for heat. I turned mine off at a night and they were fine, but if its cold maybe use the heatmat very low at night just to take the chill off them more than anything.
Do you intend feeding them small/pinhead crix in there? If so, don't bother, the crix will escape under the paper before they get them.
No need for Night heating. Ignore comments RE: Compact UV. They work fine. Remove the cables as they could climb out. Place Papaertowel down instead of Newspaper and mist regularly. Wallah! Perfect setup
ignore the comments? do some research!

Petbiz monavale, Darley Street has some reptile 5.0 tubes in stock. come in tomorrow and ill be there
they may shimmy up the cables, put the mat under the tub if you want to, drill (or soldering iron) a hole near the bottom and squeeze the thermostat cable through you dont really need to heat at nght, but for newly hatched dragons, you could set the night time mat onto about 95F (35C) so they can digest in there sleep. it will fasten their metabolism, and aid growth and development.
