Ok nevermind the masterpiece, this may not be ideal but as it's cheap do you think it will suffice for now.




The 100W ceramic will provide ambient daytime and nighttime temperatures for the kimberley as well as producing under tank heating both day and night for both gecko tanks on their warm ends. The 25W bulbs are cheap enough for the geckos I can get them about £10 each including all the fittings and cable, those are just to up the daytime gecko temps to 30C or so (pictus can take night temps of around 27C).

The Kimbo then gets a daytime bulb on producing hopefully a 45C hot spot (the clamp lamp can only take a max of 60W bulb so hopefully it'll do, and I have a 60W bulb laying around anyway)






At the moment the geckos are in a 30'' viv on top of Kokos 40'' viv, and his 100W ceramic is at one end stated to 35C with the probe positioned further away from the basking point to make a 45C basking point and warm ambience. This probably will not suffice for the 60'' viv though, the cold end will be too cool.

The ceramic currently acts as a heat mat for the geckos above also, who have a 15W daytime bulb on in the clamp lamp


Complicated stuff my mind hurts thinking about how to do this as cheap as can be

Awesome I can always stick to 15w bulbs in the geckos, and the 60w in the kimbo wont send any heat up through the cool side of the gecko viv above as it hangs down on a hook rather than being fixed directly to the wooden top of the viv

If it dont work tube heaters are plan b
