    Hammocks

    Dobby point blank refuses to sit on her basking log and to be fair it doesn’t look comfortable, so was thinking of getting a hammock. Are they safe to have under the heat lamp or is it a fire risk ? Also which sort cloth, nylon mesh or the rope type ?

    Mercury Vapour Bulbs ?

    What do you guys think about these bulbs. ? Do you need to keep the uvb T5 d3 strip-light ? Also would you need to get a different ceramic bulb holder. And finally will it need a dome and dimming thermostat ?
