Sean, my pleasure. How big is the new viv ? If it is 40 gallons or larger, you will want to invest into a Mercury Vapor Bulb. Mega Ray, Trex, and Power sun (?) are the three top. You can go ahead and use the ReptiSun, make sure it is within 6-8" of the dragon. In 5 months go ahead and switch out with a MVb, making sure distance away is Minimum 12".
Janie....

Well thats the thing, right now i have just been pricing up everything, ie a new light fixture and bulbs (getting the best one for him that i can) and getting some nice wood and such, its not going to be anything fancy just a real simple wooden box with a glass front (sliding of course).

im thinking im going to make it around 3 1/2 feet long and 2 feet deep and around 2 feet high. I dont want it TOO large but big enough where i dont have to ever make him a new one. I'll be building it in the next few weeks so ill goahead and send you some pics if i remember!

So what kinda bulb would you rec. for me to get for a viv around that size?
