Hello all. I'm sort of looking into getting one of these.....

http://www.888reptiles.co.uk/productdetails.php?ProductID=2486&ProductGroupID=1219

I'd most likely go for the 15 watt version as I don't want to much heat. I'd like to know though where I'd get the screw type fitting that came with my viv? I've already found bulb guards.

Is this a good idea or not?

Many thanks,

Justin

Do you use a heat mat too?

It does sound like a good idea, as long as the temps are regulated by a stat so the bulb won't make it too hot in there.

Yeah I do use a heat mat thats on a stat. I've went for the 15 watt version of the night glo so I don't imagine there will be that much heat of it.

You could always turn it off when you go to bed too, so it's not wasting electricity either

Very good point. I hadn't thought of that!

Even better- get a timer and then you don't even have to bother remembering to turn it on and off

Yep I have a timer here waiting.

The 15 watt bulb arrived, but it's so small that it you can hardly see any light in the big viv that I have. I've ordered the next two sizes up to see if they are any better.
