Looking good! How will you keep the substrate out of the slider's track?
its 4 inch above the base, i know it should be deeper so thinking of just having it sloping deeper towards back? a 2nd level is still on the cards as well, do you think 7x3ft is enough for him?
progress on project table, 
shelves are next, then same on other side.

having trouble finding a fitting for a strip light online, would a domestic one do the job?
what type of fitting?
nothing has been finalised yet but thinking of a stip light solely for brightening up, will have mvb and che
was thinking of this?
Hey: What're you doing up so early?
I picked up the fixture for our big greenhouse light at Lowes, it's what many would call a "shop light", and it was a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a fancy reptile fixture! I think I ended up paying about $15 for a four foot fixture.

shop light fixtures are usually a good bet. Just make sure you get the right size and fitting (different for T5, T8, etc)
ok, soo have found a T8 housing and bulbs. would a domestic tube be ok or stick with a reptile bulb? was wondering about safety as well, should I build a wire mesh housing for it?

todays progress on the base... will be adding doors on front of the 3 sections once its in place 
I went with a domestic tube that has a 6500k color, (daylight color) which is supposed to be better for the plants and critters. They carry them at my local home improvement center and were much cheaper than rep bulbs.ok, soo have found a T8 housing and bulbs
