Where to put the heat lamp?

Robert's new viv is almost done... but one problem. I can't figure out how I'm going to mount his bulb in there! Right now his bulb is on the top of his screen, but his new viv has a solid wood top. How did other people mount the heat bulbs in theirs?

Some people actually cut a large hole so the dome can sit on top and the light shines through the hole, if you do this as a precaution I would line the hole with foil so you don't get a fire when you least expect it. A lot of other people buy a fixture that mounts to the enclosure. Just make sure you get ceramic and it can handle the heat you are putting through it not to mention the wattage.

Ah, cool. I'm probably going to get a fixture, as I don't like the idea of cutting a hole in the top.

yeah dude don't cut the enclosure.
Local pet shop should have them mate!
