Thinking of getting a BCI, wondering what watt ceramic bulb people use for a 6ft viv? must need to be pretty powerful? Also does this have a big impact on electric bills? lol.

a 4x2x2 would do for a male and a 5x2x2 would do for a female depending on the size it gets to these sizes are average vivs needed.
i have william my big boa in a 5x2x2 and it was being heated with a 250w untill the bulb blew as im using the wrong stat.
no idea on electric though as never tried to work it out, ive got 4 vivs running ceramics an the electric dont cost that much on a key meter

Ah cool, ive just bought my own house which means I can get a boa now. My parents always complained that the electric bills had gone up 20% since I got my corn and royal. I thought that seemed ridiculous. But it wss probably just a way to get me to pay more board!! lol
