                Posted - 13/11/2011 : 10:55:10  i use ceramics just because most of my snakes are in our bedroom, apart from the boa who is in the spare room. i have heard that ceramics can last for about 5yrs and for the day night cycle i just use household energy saving bulbs |

                Posted - 12/11/2011 : 22:29:14  I have done IR bulbs and the new setup in ceramics. The only reason I've switched is Duke doesn't like light so I wanted his setup dark on a night and then use a LED strip for any light requirements. |
