I have the 90x60x50 herptek terrarium, and just recently got a 100watt zoo med ceramic heat bulb.
I was wondering if it is ok to place this ceramic heatbulb (inserted into a 100watt dome) straight on to the square/rectangular mesh section?
Will the mesh not get way to hot and be dangerous for my ball python if it should come into contact? I have already put the ceramic heat bulb onto the mesh, and I litterally burn my hand when I touch the mesh.
Ive seen that people place their heat bulbs straight on to the mesh, without lifting the dome with a clamp or anything. I was wondering what your expierence are with that?
Do you guys also tape some of your vents in the in the herptek terrarium closed to keep the air temp up?
Thanks a lot guys, I'm picking my new Bp up on the 25th and want the perfect environment for her
Here's a link to what the mesh on my herptek tank looks like : http://www.lpracks.com/files/images/hta090_3.jpg
