Hmm Im beginning to think I was ripped off with my ceramic heater. The heater cost me £15 quid and that didnt include the holder.

Could I have used a normal reflector bulb?

If I can use a normal reflector bulb would it be okay with my new tort that I am getting tomorrow and what size??

If I have to get another ceramic heater I will but it doesnt hurt to save a few pennies does it.

well i use reflector bulbs with a clip on light holder?they work for me

what size bulb do you use?

40wat i think mite b 60 actually but the sides of my table are reli high as my substrate is about 5 inch thick the light it about 10 inch from substrate and angled to the corner of table the temp goes at high as 32 c not bad

Think im gonna take a trip to homebase tonight and see what they have.

i baught the clip on light for £2.50 from wilkinsons and just spotlight reflector bulbs cheap as chips

Bummer havent got a wilkinsons in my town. Thanks for the tip though, hopefully homebase will have something just as good a deal.

if not i could get you one and post you it? postage shouldnt be that expensive on it i shouldnt think pm me if you like would you like me to take a pic of it for oyou

Cheers got your message, I should be able to get something similar in homebase. Im collecting my new tort tomorrow so will have to get something in the morning.

Oh your torts look lovely by the way.

hi how did you get on did you find a light?
