Hello. I am/was THIS close to getting boaphile cages... for my garters btw... and then they told me their floresants are tiny. They said they were slightly larger then a pinkie finger and said if hardware stores don't carry the style I could buy from them. I many want them to light the cage... but there is a controvercy about useing uv bulbs on snakes... wheather they are needed or not. My vet wants me to. I told her the arguments against that they don't really need it... and she gave me a good argument for.. includeing a zoo which had all it's babies born with crooked spines after takeing the snakes off uv and put on normal light. She said I don't have to get the expencive zoo med etc stuff just a "full spectrum" bulb. But I don't know if that kind of thing FITS in a boaphile cage (I'm going to write them as well)



Also it occured to me... someone out there may want one of these cages FOR something that NEEDS the uv (uva/uvb) light... like bearded dragons... so in that case they would be... well sorry STUPID to set it up so you couldn't put in a uva/uvb bulb!

So I want to know from people who HAVE the cages if you can put a uva/uvb and/or full spectrum bulbs in the cages... oh and I'm getting the smallest cage 24"x 24" x 12"



Thank you for your time.

- Sharon
