Re: Any Value in a Semiarboreal Cage...?
Alright, we've decided on dimensions...4 ft. by 3 ft. by 3 ft. high. (Why those dimensions? It's a big as will fit in my Element) We're going to be putting in some shelves for additional space and some climbing opportunities, and we went out to Home Depot to price things out. We're going to use heat tape for Belly heat, and a plexiglass platform so it can go inside the tank.
I now have an additional question though. We were looking at various lighting sources, and it looked like the best lighting possibility in terms of cost and looks and carpentry demands was a set of three little halogen lights. Each one is about the size of a coaster, though about an inch thick with a 20 watt halogen light inside. It would appear I could just screw them into the ceiling and staple the wire to the ceiling and out the back, providing light throughout the cage that is low profile. Anyone used halogens before? Will a 20 watt bulb produce so much heat that I would need to cage it? Thanks for all the help so far.
