i was just wondering if i really need a light for my royals viv when he gets older?
i know that it should be red and that ill need a cage to put around it but if they dont need one in a faunarium why do they need one when they are older?

If your using a bulb, you dont need a mat. Its better to use bulb heating rather than mats for heavier bodied aminals to prevent thermal blocking.

Those are good prices, I think I paid £6 for a light fitting and £20 for a guard. I know who I'll be coming to when Feather's big enough for a viv!
