I feel a little stupid for asking this, but I am really at a loss >.>

I just got one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reptile-Vivarium-Ceramic-Straight-Mounting/dp/B0087E0Y4S/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1341307664&sr=1-4 and am really struggling in working out how to fit it.

Well.. I'm not that bad. I can wire the holder and screw it to the top of the viv... and the white things are sleeves for the wire... But what the hell is the black thing in the second picture and where/how do I use it. Do I need it?

Looks like a cable grommet. Use it to prevent cable rubbing and seal for the drilled hole.

Too handy to just bin, put it in the lucky box. You will find a use for it sometime.

Agree with Auld, looks far too useful to bin

Coolbeans - it'll go in the toolbox. using aquarium sealant around the holes when everything's strung through - will smooth out the edges :p And prevent escapees

As if you needed proof. I've got just about every item he mentioned .. including the radiator key, brand new and never been used.
