I'm planning Roy's larger vivarium, just wondering which heat source people prefer. Also can you get bayonet infra red bulbs? My fitting is for a bayonet. Thank you. |

I use IR and the temp's stable. Feather's on a mat at the moment because she's still wee, but I'm undecided whether to stick with what I know (IR) when she goes into a viv or give ceramic a shot. |

Ok thanks for the comments. I will try IR for now and see how it goes. |

I use IRs never touch my stats. temps flux a bit but only natural with room temp changing and when viv doors are opened. they never fall outside ideal temps. |

i must admit i prefer ceramics over IR think the heat is more stable, but thats just my experience.
I like IR's for the light and thats it... |

I have just set up a stack with IR's on a dimmer and am not overly pleased TBH.
I love the way they look with the red light...but im not happy with the temps. Seem to have to adjust them evey few days which I never have to do with my ceramics. |

I prefer infra reds, as BE said they give enough light for you to see in the viv |

You can get the fittings from Dave Reptiles Ink on here, they are much cheaper and he sells the cable and guards as well |

OK thanks, can I get a safe ES light fitting for a wood viv from a rep shop as I've only seen clamp lamp style fittings before, or 60/100w rated screw in types? Sorry to sound like an idiot, I'm used to diurnal herps who take bayonet bulbs!! |

I think you can get bayonet IR's, but most are ES. I prefer ceramics personaly, I would rather not have the light. |

I think both the IR Heat Bulbs and Ceramics tend to be Screw fitting. I prefer the IR Bulbs myself, enough light for you to see, not enough to disturb the snake. |
