    Hi, My new 50w deep heat projector is attatched to a dimming thermostat on my 3ft long exo terra that hosts my leopard gecko, however I cannot seem to get the heat in the hot end above 19 degrees Celsius (62 Fahrenheit). The reflective dome sits on the mesh on the exo terra and there is rocks...

    I have a 2 month old mbk she's new and so am I to snake keeping. I have my heat mat giving the ideal basking temp 88 (checked with heat gun) but the ambient temperature is only 76 on the hot side.

    I recently (about 2/3 weeks ago) adopted a female leopard gecko, I got everything all set up ahead of time and made sure to have food ready etc. The problem I am having is that no matter what I try, the heat level won't go any higher, at the moment the highest it goes to is 28.8C/83.84F. I...

    I'm pretty much there with my viv and last thing is heat. The vivarium is in my attic conversion which can get to 13C in winter nights. A number of threads say don't need night heat but all the caresheets and weather conditions for the local area say minimum 20C which means I need some kind of...

    Is White Python as a company still operating? Their website doesn't work anymore, and I have seen a lot of their supplies on sale/clearance on other reptile supply sites. I can't find any info whether the company is still going? I was considering getting their ceramic heater + guard kit but now...

    As nights get colder in the UK, I've begun thinking about night time temperatures. A while back I purchased thermostats and heat mats for this very reason, but without doing my research prior, I realised these probably wouldn't emit enough heat to warm the air in the enclosure. Plus all...

    Hi, i received my microclimate evo connected 3 today. And I'm having an issue with it turning off every 5 or so minutes, but only when I have things plugged into it... which are 150w ceramic 150 basking floodlight and a 100w halogen bulb. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    I just got a Repti Zoo terrarium and wanted to put a heat mat on the bottom for my king snake, but the underside doesn't feel like glass to me. Has anyone else used these terrariums with a heat mat? I can't find anything on the site about it or any reviews. This terrarium: 35.3 Gallons Full...

    I've heard that CHE are probably the easiest to maintain as they can run 24/7 but lack natural (i forgot the word for it) of the sun, which apparently halogens and DHP's have. I was told halogens are the most natural and best for reptiles, but can only be used in the day as they emit light, and...

    Hello, to be quite frank im very annoyed with bulb holders right now - lol! I’ve had my gecko about 8 months and gone through 3 bulb holders! Currently on 4th. Can anyone recommend me the best, long lasting bulb holder out there? Has to be E27 fitting as that’s what all my bulbs are and...

    Just today I switched my leopard geckos tank from reptile carpet to eco earth. She's my first reptile, and under a year old, so having read everything about impaction as a beginner I was too nervous to not go with the safest option. It's been a couple months now and I've learned a lot and...

    this is quite complicated to get right - In the warmer times , my heat lamp (on stat) is barely on , just heats for a bit in morning . So I swapped for lower bulb , a bit better but still, fact it not on much means not much of a hot spot and variance I don't like having to swap bulbs because...
