Basking Light on Reptarium?

Syd Jun 26, 2003 03:21 PM

For the people that use reptariums do you place your basking light fixture on top of the screen? Do you use the clamp and secure it to something else above the screen? I need to find a solution to where to place my light.

I placed mine directly on top. It will discolor (orangish red color) the spot where it sit's but won't burn.

Cool, plus the light would be a few inches above the screen anyways because of the fixture. Thanks

you can place the light anywhere to get the right bascking temp aslong as the bulb itself doesn't touch the screen
