    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...

    I've been keeping inverts for a few years (mostly rhino and flower beetles, plus a few mantis species in past 15 months), in January we got a leopard gecko, she's now 7 months old so we're upgrading her to a larger forever home and going bioactive etc. I've been using a DHP and arcadia uvb...

    Hey everyone, I recently moved house and my room is much dark compared to my previous room. I know keepers have created their own lighting in their vivariums, however, I am unsure what my options are as I own a snow corn and I am worried about if excess lighting will cause issues. Does anyone...

    Wondering if anyone has any experience fixing exo terra canopies? I have 2 of the 45cm canopies, both second hand. Both were sold to me as fully working. However, only one socket works in each of them. I know all my bulbs work, as they all work in one side of the canopy, but not the other. All...

    I'm new to owning/caring for a snake (I'm currently in the market and doing research, I don't own one yet) and I had a question on the lighting for a Mexican Black Kingsnake. I do know there needs to be a set daytime/nighttime cycle but I've been searching the internet and I can barely find...

    Hi All, I have had my Hermann's tort for 16 years but recently I have found the heat lamp bulbs keep blowing and I am getting through a ridiculous number (5 in a week). So we renewed the bulb holder, the extension lead and now plug it all into a different socket (although there don't appear to...

    I've been using jungle dawn LED bulbs for quite a while now and earlier in the year upgraded to Arcadia Jungle Dawn 34w LED Bars 570mm. The light output from them is great and has produced good growth in my plants however I have now had a SECOND jungle dawn bar fail just ten months after...

    Im currently heating my kenyan with 150 Wat Ceramic heat emitter but im looking to improve things.

    Hello Ive been considering getting some UVB for my crestie for a while now, but what's been keeping me from doing it, is that he enjoys spending his time very close to the mesh top of my enclosure. In fact, he's rarely less than 10cm from the top, and im a bit reluctant to move the branches and...

    It's my first BRB and the first time building an enclosure. He is currently in an 45 x 45 x 30 glass viv which just doesn't cut it - I want over head heating and less visibility on the sides so he has more privacy. My plan originally was just to go all-in and build a 4 x 2 x 2 or 3 x 2 x 2. I...

    Hello! I thought I would share these two videos I posted last week. I am slowly attempting to improve the care for the animals I keep. I have more animals than I can afford to care for optimally and my goal is to change that! In the first video I add proper lighting and heat to my JCP enclosure...

    Finally pulled my finger out today on my day off work and sorted out my Royals new viv. She will most likely eventually be upgraded to a 5ft for plenty of space, but for now this is a 3x2x2, so it should do her fine. Also testing out my lighting solution, I didn't want a huge long UV bulb in...

  20. Newbie Advice
    Hello! I recently purchased a vivarium stack ( 4 x 4ft vivariums) and I was wondering what the best way to light all 4 would be? The lighting does not have to be UV but I can not think of anything that I could use as a lighting system simply for viewing purposes (Well one system that can...
