Hi,
I'm creating an outside hide and wondering what size the door will need to be. The only measurements I can find for an adult western is their length but I'll need to know the rough height and width that they grow to.
Can anyone help with this please?
Thanks!
Interesting you mentioned round ones, they are much easier to find and I never knew they could be used.
This site is very good with options to filter.
I take it round is just the traditional shaped bulb.

Thanks Tom that makes sense, think this one will be correct? Says flood in the desc.
Do you think the voltage of the bulb matters? I take it if one has a very low voltage then the heat output would be a bit poor?
I did wonder if the 50w Arcadia bulb could be run through a dimmer to control the...
You inspired me to have a good look round. I found this:

This is where I've got to at the moment. I bought the lowest watt basking Arcadia bulb I could find

But being in the UK it's hard to find normal incandescent bulbs now. The 50w hits the upper temperatures for a hermans, was around...
Brilliant thank you very much. I'll be switching to an enclosed chamber shortly so would be interesting to see. At the moment because of heat from the bulbs I can only enclose at night.
Thanks for taking the time to take those Tom, slightly different than I envisaged so pics were very helpful.
Thanks Maro, it's quite compact then, I think I'll be able to fashion something now to hold it next to the table. Thanks again.
Thank you both for replying. Good ideas to think about. Tom that would be much appreciated if you could upload a picture. I think I understand but a picture to confirm would be fantastic. Because I don't know how big or heavy it is, it's difficult to anticipate what stand it would need. I've...
Hi everyone,
Opted to go for the new Zoo Med Reptisun UVB/LED over my open top table.
Noticed though that it doesn't come with a reflector or holder. It's just an E27 screw in lamp effectively. They do sell terrarium hoods for it but I can't say that would be practical to suspend over a table...
