Since this is first time I've used ceramic bulb in a viv I've noticed how warm the top of viv above bulb gets, its around 90f to 110 directly above it so i was just wondering do any of you guys use this heat for heating small enclosures for spiders or smaller reps? |

I found the tarantula keeper's guide book the best thing I bought, very helpful, and the otther dark side forum on spiders is very helpful. |

I use mine to defrost rats! The other day I put a lid on the pot I usually use and then forgot about them. Oh the smell! Marvellous! Snakeys liked it though! |

with avic's you need lot's of ventilation in the lid, around the top of the setup and at floor level
this was my old avic's setup, can see the ventilation i put in the tub

avic's tend to make tube web's up on branch's/cork bark ect.
to be honest most T's will be fine at room temp just stick the tank's on the opposite end to the heat source on the viv |

what about aboreal t's like the avic versicolour etc. do they burrow too? |

I left a rat defrosting in a tub on there and fell sleep and forgot about it. Wasn't a pretty sight... Or smell |

my bull's an tai beauty snake were heated for a while by the heat from the viv's/ceramic's below, worked fine but need an air gap or it was too hot for them as they only need 29c an around 26c |

I use it to defrost mice and rats. I put them in an old ice cream container first!  |
