Hi what's the best way to heat a 4ftx2ftx18inch vivarium , for my royal, at the moment he is in a 3ft viv with a 150watt ceramic that works well but I think it will not work in a bigger viv..

| it depends what type of ceramic you use to fit in the guards. i use lucky reptile dark spot ceramics and the 250w ones fit inside the guards i have. not sure on guard size as i buy them from cadbury garden centre.they are the biggest of the 2 sizes they sell. could prob get then cheaper on line but i know they are big enough to take the 250w ceramic i use |
