Posted by: Carlton at Wed Feb 14 16:10:14 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Carlton ] I have not used metal halide lighting for chams. I don't think you need such serious (and expensive) lighting for quads in that size of cage (not all that big really). Maybe metal halides for a room sized enclosure...just haven't used them. I think you could do as well with a double fluorescent fixture or aquarium hood with ReptiSun 5.0 bulbs to provide UVB, and one or two ordinary house light bulb basking spots. Quads prefer cooler higher humidity conditions and the halides may produce too much heat for them. Also, are MH bulbs very touchy around water? You will be spraying A LOT and tiny misting droplets can cause hot bulbs to explode. ReptiSuns are safer in that way. | ||
