hey guys,
just set up my first viv, well modifying the one i got with my snakes just yesterday, and it was fitted with a heating bulb which was unguarded and on a dimmer not a stat, so i pulled that out and got a heat mat and stat for heating, but now ive got no light which im sure they dont mind but id quite like to be able to see them ;)
any suggestions on what i could use? something unconventional and different would be nice too, coloured maybe?
cheers peeps

 The reading of the Riot Act will shortly be heard over this land. 
The bailliffs will be round first thing in the morning to recover my commission (with interest). 
Josh, Ikea do several types. The LEDBERG LED strip at £11 is excellent value and perfect for the 3' vivs. Nice white light and no heat. |

| Ha-ha-ha! Josh, I don't sell them. I have bought 6 sets and just recommend them to folks when asked about lighting. They are under the misapprehension that I'm on a commission from IKEA. I should be but sadly not a penny so far. |
