Attention RF keepers I need your advice please. Little Skurt is now over 210 grams and is too big for his 4x2 baby setup. I ordered the T70 which will house him mid October-mid April and all evenings. However, there are so many lighting and heating options.
I can do 2 CHE’s or RHP which I’m leaning towards for their longevity and more even heating but what wattage? Currently looking at these http://pro-products.com/pro-heat/
So if I go with RHP I can have them mount LED lights on each end or fluorescent. Leaning toward fluorescent because they produce less heat but what fluorescent bulbs I don’t know honestly. They like low light and temps in the low to mid eighties. Or do I have this backwards and LED’s produce less heat?
Now UVB. In the 8 foot cages these can’t be mounted in the middle. So they will need to fit just off center but it’s 24 inches tall and I planned a 6 inch substrate height meaning if top mounted my UVB lights need to be powerful enough to meet his needs with 18-19 inches height or I go for the 18 inch cage except then risk overheating.
I am clueless so if any keepers can break this down for me and help me make some decisions I’d be very grateful.
