i need to install and light fixture immediatly!
can someone maybe tell me what kind of light fixture i should buy so i can load my heat bulb in there?
please i need urgent help i dont want to freeze my little guy
Do you know anything about the UVB bulb? Is it a tube flouresent type? Do you know what kind? How old?
If not, consider getting a new UVB source. They only last about 6mo. You may even consider getting a Mercury Vapor bulb that will provide UVB and UVA in one.
For the short term, a dome fixture from the petstore + a normal house bulb will do for heat.
Next step is to get a good digitial thermometer to measure the hot and cold side as well as the basking spot temps.
i have a 3x2x2 melamine enclosure .
so i can put a dome lamp in.
and my uvb bulb they gave me is a reptisun 10.0 and its brand new.
they also gave me 2 powersun 100w bulbs
what im asking is what kind of mountable fixture can i put in my melamine tank........ can someome possibly post me a home depot or loews link...thank you
as of right now i found an old desk lamp that hold up to 60w so i put in a dayglo heat bulb 60w temprary....i know day glo is bad . but this is only till tommorow
hey guy really need to know what bulb fixture i should get to mount in my melamine tank... need help before i get the wrong one..... i will be putting a 100x powersun in
thank you..
waiting on a response so i can go to home depot
and what else do i need to wire up a bulb fixture i doubt it comes with a plug lol
Ok I just tried to locate the fixture that I used on Gizmo's viv on line at Home Depot but I could not find it. Here is a picture of his viv and you can see the light fixture that I mounted to the top of the tank. I bought it at either Lowe's or Home depot in the electrical department. It came in two pieces but i think you can buy it together, it also came in brown. I hope this helps I'm going to look at lowe's now if i find it I will post the link for you.
