Hi, quick question I’m just wondering how I could keep the Temp probe for thermostat stuck into one place (the basking spot)
As I am going to be making a new enclosure soon so switching from a heat mat to lamp;
Also, anyone got links etc for good lamp/fitting etc / thermostats
Cheers

A lot of people place the probe under a rock, as many use slate/stone basking areas (good for retaining heat!). Rocks can hold the probe in place

That’s a good idea yeah I’ll probably be doing that . My Leo has a tendency to dig more than a jcb so

Hmmm... not sure personally but I know a few people have tanks on racks/tables with a little overhang and it's fine. As long as it's even in the front and the back so everything is balanced 5cm shouldn't be that much
Someone else with overhang on the tank might have some thoughts

Yeah would just be the front
I guess it would give my Leo a nice view
Is that shopping list suitable for UK by the way ?
scenic cloud
Yes! There is a section specifically for the UK curated by UK members.

Nice one thanks I’ll save that
I also didn’t see this on the list , are these worth it or ?

Looks like coil UVB bulbs, which have a spotty output. You want a linear bulb, like Arcadia shadedweller kits (should also be in the shopping list)

Alright Ty yeah
I’m using a Arcadia one atm but it’s only 50cm long , does it need to be any bigger for a 90cm Viv? Or shall I stick with what I have ? Cheers

I think that should be fine, usually you just put the UVB on the same side as the heat lamp. I think mine covers a little under half the tank as well
