Hi
I have always used 100w spot bulbs in an angled holder to heat my vivs, so I have bulb cages that are also angled.
Now I have got a komodo ceramic bulb holder, but there is no way of fixing it to the side of the viv, how are your held in place? If I have got to have it pointing straight down then so be it, & I will buy another cage, but even shining straight down how do you fix it?
Thanks for any help recieved, & sorry if this is a stupid question.

I can supply a ceramic holder which you screw to the viv for £3.85 delivered.
If you need it at a 45 degree angle for the guard you can fasten a wedge to the viv ant the 45 degree and fasten the holder to that.

mine are hung of hooks...pointing straight down to reduce the heat transfer. |

I just used a cable tidy thing, the type with a nail in it if you know what I mean. I can vouch for Dave's guards, they're excellent. you're probably best pm'ing him on the dark side. |

if so Dave aka Reptiles Ink on here makes them..
by the way i screw mine in to the viv...
Well the bulb gaurd is only part of the problem, but thanks I will give him a shout when I got the holder fixed.
How do you screw the bulb holder into the viv, this one has no holes or anything for screws to go through.
this is how i did it, but i am a woman remember..lol..
i marked the holes with a pencil on the wood, then used a drill to make more holes so that the screw would bite, but i did it into the ceiling of the viv and was a pain in the butt...but i got there..
but maybe Daz or someone will give better advice than i can..
Yeah thats how I did it with my normal bulb holders, but this ceramic one has no holes to pass screws through, its just a bulb holder dangling on the end of the heat resistant cable.
you need the other bit to go with it...
ask Dave he might have that bit to...i know the bit your talking about now... |
