With this setup do you use bulbs i like to provide photo periods for all reptiles but im fairly new to keeping. just wanna know if you guys use bulbs and if so will that rack not melt??

the simple answer to that is no because 1 the tub would melt and 2 it would cause an oven effect which mewens there isnt a hot end and a coolend so ur animlas would overheat

You could not house a crety in one of them.

As for the photoperiod.
The tubs are translucent so they let a bit of light in.
Enought for a normal photoperiod using the natural light htrough the window,
or light from other vivs.
