[QUOTE="JayTheDragonTamer, post: 1979047, member: 111883"] I went into detail in a reply to my thread and didn’t notice your comment until I refreshed the page. Thanks for responding so fast. I definitely agree. I won’t be doing anything that risks damaging my husbandry. I absolutely want to keep everything to the highest standard- but I’m interested in seeing if I can find more efficient ways to get it there. I believe I have some areas I need to improve on. For example, I know what temperature I need my basking spot to be, and the correct temperature gradients, but how I’m getting those results at the moment isn’t ideal. I’m currently having to use multiple, high wattage bulbs. Running 150ws and 100ws and other bulbs all day to keep the right basking temps. It’s a huge mess of wires and domes, and the amount of energy I’m using is not producing the amount of heat it’s worth. But I know from lots of anecdotal evidence that for my size enclosure, I should be able to reach the correct basking temps with much less wattage. I also know from past experience that the right type of 90w halogen floodlight is capable of creating really decent heat and light. For whatever reason, I’m missing the mark with my heating, and I could be doing so much better. My plan for efficiency is finding out where the energy loss is and targeting that, to achieve the same results, but in a better way. [/QUOTE]
