bulldogod Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 cool pics, what is the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie_Guy Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 cheers I will move the UV light lower. How much lower will it need to be for him to be getting the UVB? The clay pot it for him to sleep in and he goes in there to chill out when it gets to hot. The background is high density foam from weta workshop.

Beardie_Guy Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Umm dont know about getting more. I can find out.. The only thing is that it is a little hard to put together as it comes in pieces and you fit it together like a jigsaw. It an awsome background because grinch can climb it and sit on a ledge up my the top of the enclosure. I will Move the light.. where do i get one of the UVB lights that hang? and how much are they? $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a 3 foot tube you want a C3, 4 foot is C4. Should be $70-$80. Cheapest in akl would be to order thru Pupuke Aquarium- they would prob. courier to you too.

Got it off TradeMe for $20 and can courier it over to you if you don't feel like coming out to Upper Hutt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogod Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 my lights lower than that proberly, 4-6 inches away from his basking spot, not sure if that is right or not but he seems to like it? Hopefully some one with more experiance will comment. When you look on the overseas forums and reptiles sites you get so much conflicting advice.

Lloyd Some more pics of grinch about to climb wall put it closer to where he basks or spends most of the day. those arcadia light enhancers (fancy name for aluminium backing for the light) can be ordered from petware thru your local pet shop.
