hi there, We’ve moved into a new house with a pretty large garden and I’m planning on getting an outside set up going I’m looking at building one at around 2m wide and 4m length I have old railway sleepers I plan on using 2 at the sides one at the bottom and at the top end a rabbit hutch with...

Quick question in the UK our clocks went forward 1 hours yesterday so obviously my lights are going on an hour later and off an hour later Should I adjust these back to what it was before? And what time do you have yours set for Basking and uvb?

I know it’s still not an appropriate size but currently working with the space we have until we move Enclosure is 4ft by 2ft and half a ft high Has a coco coir 50/50 mix with soil Arcadia maxpro T5 uvb14w 100w floodlight for basking I’ll post pictures of temps one in basking and one at cooler...

I’m assuming with the right lights ect that will stop the pyramiding

When you say the shell isn’t the best can you tell me what’s wrong with it? I will post a setup once I get home later and currently working on an outside enclosure for him during the summer months

I can move the lamp up another 3/4” would that help or am I better getting lower wattage

Okay I’ll sort some new wattage lamps Yeh he gets daily soaks and then gets to run around the house and we’ve had him supervised in the garden a few times too It’s only dim looking the now as the room he’s in is our family room and we’re currently watching a film so the lights off and the...

I’m currently waiting on a digital one coming I just bought then until it arrived just to make sure
