    Is this safe? (light fixture)

    Yes its the light fixture, sorry I couldn't find the right word. So it's safe to plug into my thermostat with 500W capacity? I don't use the clamp, I have it hanging over

    Is this safe? (light fixture)

    I just purchased a ceramic heat emitter for my enclosure along with a clamp and thermostat. The thermostat takes up to 500W but the clamp shows 660W. My question is, is the clamp feeding my thermostat 660W or does it just take up to 660W? The CHE is 100W. When I plugged them in (including my...

    Are these proper lights? What do you suggest?

    So I can pretty much just have one bulb and one dome and get rid of everything I already have? Lol I really wish I knew about this site before I went to the reptile shop Would you recommend any particular brands for MV bulbs and ceramic heat emitters? Would it be okay for these two to be in...

    I have these lights for Blue but I don't know if they're good for him. I looked up some mercury vapor bulbs but am having a hard time finding a good, reliable brand. https://imgur.com/pj7nS0C I keep the red light on all the time but I turn the UV off at night around 7-8 PM. Should I be...

    What kind of plastic do you use to cover the one side?

    I thought of making a similar cover, except with plexiglass and a small hold at the peak where I can feed my light's wire, letting the dome hang at the top. This looks like a greenhouse, correct?

    Do you have pictures of your closed top as well as how your light is set up? In July when I move, I'm going to make a larger enclosure for Blue out of a 6' x 2' bookcase. The depth when it's on it's side is anywhere from 9"-12". Is that deep enough for me to cover it with something like...

    Wow, looks great. So you put the foil over the lights? I have my lights hanging from a tripod over the enclosure as a DIY lamp fixture. Would it be better if I just put the light dome on the screen? It's the Zoo Med Combo Deep Dual lamp.

    Now he has a water dish and a food dish side by side. That sounds like it would be a great weekend project! Is it really? I've been thinking of making a tabletop enclosure, but I thought he was too small for that. How big would you recommend?

    Do you have a pic as an example? I've also read that some people use foil, would that work too? No this isn't his enclosure haha this is just his play area with plants grown especially for him. https://imgur.com/T9WVc3D This is what it looked like a couple of months ago. I got rid of the...
