I hope to start getting 2 vivs ready for Frank and Keith in the new year but am unsure on lighting for them. Their 2 ft vivs are on the bottom of my stack so are a little dark this time of year. I use a strip light in my 2 larger vivs simply because that is what they came with. I was thinking of using a normal household low energy bulb for the two 2ft vivs. So I have a couple of questions;

Am I right in thinking these lights still need a guard?

Frank has red eyes so would this type of bulb be ok for him? (don't want to damage his little eyes)

Thanks.

you can get led strips on ebay they look pretty snazzy in vivs and you can hide them well :)

always use a guard to be safe because all bulbs get hot :) and tbh they wont care to much if they have light or not so if its for ur viewing then i would use a blue bulb
