Great post guys. Just a thought i am building a large viv for my Varanus salvator after xmas and i am thinking of using a micro climate AHS system 500w.
It hasn't been mentioned on this post, has anybody got any thoughts or views on it?


Cheers

HI let me first say "I take my hat off to members like you!.To heat and get the temps right must be a nightmare.!And I`m worried that my 500w ahs system is not heating my 7Hx21/2Dx4L viv.Makes my problem look like nothing.!Keep up the good work,very interesting and informative thread.
many thanks

hi rick you certainly know your stuff so maybe you can give me a little advise on my build with regard to the lighting. i have a beardie which will hopefully be moving house in the next few weeks. im wanting to set up either 1 30" or 2 18" stip lights with 2or3 basking lights but wanting to have a dimmer switch for the basks. also ideally id like to run them both/all into the one transformer/powerbox so its only plug (2 at a push) into the mains. is this something you could maybe advise on?

Its roughly 3x3 and 2.7 in height
the link will give you a better idea of it
