Nice looking viv mate!

Is that just a spot lamp with a reflector that you have in there? If so what watt bulb is it?

Hi and thanks for your comment,the heat light that provides his basking area is a (100 watt reflective bulb £7.99p ) that i got from a fantastic reptile shop,
designed for this environment,and i have a chrome reflector (£10.99 ) to create a controlled area of heat beaming down to his basking spot.this is run on a habistat dimmer controller £ 50.00..set for the temp you see in my pic above.......
what about you dhill ,?

Really nice viv there Smile

Does your beardie ever try to eat the fake plants? I'm half tempted to decorate my viv with some but have heard that they sometimes go for the plants.

Well i havent had any prob with the plants yet.
when i first put them in the Viv she went for them and had a bite, but didnt try again,she licks them if you spray water on them but she knows that they are not real food,plus if you keep her fed well she wont need to try to eat them,go for it and just watch there movements in the viv, Laughing
