Hi there, got a viv i'm putting a ceramic heater in so i need a light source there aswell. was gonnna put a flourescent tube on the back as it will let alot of light in without being in the viv.
where is the best place to buy the gear from? takeit i'll need tube holder, wire and starter? never had to make one up before

cheers chris

Yeah Mate, The Starter Is The Main Thing, You Should Have Enough Wire With The Starter Anyway. Tube holders often come with the starter kit.

Heres A Starter I Use.

Cracking.
What Kind Of Viv Is It.
No Glass At Front? As Light From The Front Glass, Is Usually Enough.

Whats Going To Be Housed Init?

If it's only for a snake (i.e. doesn't need to be UV), you can get a full fluoro setup from B&Q much cheaper than buying "reptile" light kits.

A self-contained fluorescent strip light kit (single or double depending on size) will cost less than a tenner ready to go. Just set it up (either screwed to the top/back of the viv, or resting on a mesh lid), plug it in, and away you go

Interesting Stuff Mate.
Any Links? Does It All Come In A Pack, Or You Have To Buy Each Item Sepretly. Would Come In Handy For Displaying My Snakes Viv's Without Blasting Them With UVA & UVB!

get down to focus and get 1x plug = 50p 1 x 1m of wire about £1. 1 x soccet (the type you can screw to the top of yoiu viv £1.00 and a low energy bulb = £1.00 then some mesh ( to make bulb gaurd) and you have your full light kit for not much - works really well and cheap as chips
