heating

Hi, I’ve had my gecko for roughly 8 years. When we first had her we were advised by the pet shop that the red heat lamp was the way to go however upon research I’ve realised this is not a good option. I have bought a UVB tube today as an addition and she has vinyl flooring as substrate. 4 hides...

Hello everyone! Just looking from some advice from people with actual experience as online there's a lot of mixed messages depending on what different sites are trying to sell. I am looking to upgrade my leopard gecko's tank (she's been in one that I think is 60x45x30cm for the last 5 years...

Heya! V new to all this but have done a ton of research! Got a gecko today after overthinking for ages and switching vivariums until I found this one with a gecko! The setup I have is a 3 1/2ft vivarium, wooden with a 2ft glass window at the top! I have a ceramic heater, a heat mat, a red bulb...

Heya! V new to all this but have done a ton of research! Got a gecko today after overhyping ages and switching vivariums until I found this one with a gecko! The setup I have is a 3 1/2ft vivarium, wooden with a 2ft glass window at the top! I have a ceramic heater, a heat mat, a red bulb for...

on the hot side of the tank it’s usually around 89-94 degrees fahrenheit but on the cool side the wall temperature says 65. how do i get the heat up on the cool side?

So I have a UTH, which gets the floor to about 93 degrees on the hot side, but the air temperature is a little cooler than I'd prefer (around 80 degrees). I had a 75W infrared bulb that shouldn't have disrupted their circadian rhythm, but it made the floor too hot (around 105 degrees). I want to...

Hi Well my 10 year old son Ethan finally has his Leopard gecko, he has wanted one for years, and this year we decided he was old enough to have one. We managed to get a fairly good deal on a second hand set up £60 for a 3ft viv, heating, caves,bowls food and a 6 month Gecko. I thought i had...

I am in the process of breeding some geckos, trying to get everything going to make this passion of mine a full time business. I currently use heat cable but am debating on switching to heat tape due to I feel it would be more efficient in reaching a steady ambient temperature. Can I please have...

Hi All, Although I have kept reptiles and amphibians since childhood, and worked in zoos for most of my adult life, I remain amazed by the array of herp-care innovations that are available to us today. True, not all are necessary (and some are downright ridiculous!), but many are...

The one on the left is my Leopard Gecko Enclosure! The one on the right is my Crested Gecko Enclosure! I STILL NEED SOME DECOR FOR LEO'S ENCLOSURE

This is a 6 foot tall by 3ft and 1.5 inch wide rack system. It can hold 56 IRIS Hatchling Tubs. It comes with the heat tape already installed and wired. It also comes with a Helix DBS-1000 proportional grounded thermostat. It has 14 shelves that each hold 4 hatchling tubs. The tubs are not...

Would a hot light bulb above half my leopard gecko tank (don't actualy have the animal yet) for heating harm my gecko gecko in any way? I've heard a under tank heating pad is recomended but I don't know why. Also is a uv balb necessary, if not will it harm the lizard?
