hate to disagree with y'all, but i checked mine agian this am. the room temp is about 70. the temps thruout the level are 77, except in the *bright spot*...
All you have to do to regulate those temps is set the bulb up so it can be raised or lowered depending on the temp in the " hot spot ". I'm not surprised at...
Hi Darry, I would have to agree with you that the spot can be considerably hotter as you have found, but I agree with the temps everyone else found too. With...
... room temp is about 70. the temps thruout the level are 77, except in the *bright spot* where it's 92. i check with my trusty no-contact thermometer....
i'm new to spots, never used them before. i was sold on them after seeing bobmac's 100 t-rex watt spot putting out 160 microwats of UVB at @ 12 inches after...
HI Darry, my 160 watt T-Rex spot is at 24 in. and is still giving me around 75-80uw/cm2. My 100 watt t-rex spot is giving me around 100uw/cm2 @ about 20 in....
Bobmac wrote The 100wt MV FLOOD lamp heated the collector to the same temperature as the MV SPOT lamp. The Halogen FLOOD of the same wattage heated the ...
Alot of it depends on the type of spot light you are using. Most of the " pet store " spot lights are not nearly as efficient at heating as halogen style spot...

Bob and Brian... I'm sure Ed will respond similarly, but my 8+ years of experience with chams says the same thing. Chams do much better with good air ...
This brings up another question.... do the mesh enclosures really hold up to the MV lights...both spot and floods? Diane Exotic Pet Rescue & Adoptions ...
Hey Bob, I'm actually working on a cage for 2 of my 3 chams right now that I'm hoping to have done shortly. It's not screened but it's going to have vans...

Thanks Bob, I think its great info for all because so many ppl are using the reptariums for many different lizards now due to the fairly decent costs and their...
FWIW, my cat doesn't pay very much attention to the chams. The chams move too slowly. Also, my rule of thumb for cham cages is that if the cham is easily...
I wasn't really worried abut our cats going after the chams themselves, like in your case they don't pay much mind to them, I keep plenty of foilage in thier...
Brian... Yes it does... but, since you explained you have good air flow, you have probably covered the main problem I have with tanks. If you are handling the...
my cats hate the mister - yet the iguana loves it. I wonder - just as certain lights can be triggered by motion - could a garden type mister be hooked up the...
Hi Doug, I keep the cool areas of the tanks at 78-80 deg with basking sites of 98-100 deg, I don't run any heat on them at night either, my house stays at a...
That doesn't sound like a bad idea to me I'll have to check into it. I think all you would have to do is wire the misters to a motion detector where the...

I've had no problem with MVs on screen or wire mesh cages. Of course, the bulbs are all 6"-12" above from the cage. I don't know if Reptariums would hold up...
Hi Bob, I checked out the website you put in your last post and it would actually be cheaper to buy those cages than to finish the one I have started. I have ...
