Boaphile lights

Just got some cages and realized i should have got the lights installed. does anyone have anyidea on how to best acomplish this in a DIY manner?

Two options (bear in mind I'm not familiar with the cages):

1. Could you order lights from Boaphile and install them yourself?

or

2. Could you drill a small hole in the back of the cage, and then mount a small fluorescent fixture (from like Wal-Mart or Home Depot) inside the cage?

I mounted a light in a Neodesha cage that I had once like that. You would have to cut off the plug, and then a wire new one once you put the cord through the hole.

Good luck!!

(And enjoy your cage -- I guess they take priority over racks :P )

yeah i guess they do, i settled in for a long wait and next thing you know they were knocking on the door.

thanks for the idea, my biggest problem was what to do with the screw heads if i mounted them on the top because they seem to fit flush. It flat never occured to me to mount them on the back

Other people might be able to suggest different ways to mount a light fixture as well. Possibley 5 minute epoxy?? You would probably have to let it air out for a while -- but think it would be fine once it dried -- and it you wouldn't have to worry about a snake getting stuck on it after it is dry either...

I really like using velcro squares for thermometers inside my cages. They come in packages with self adhesive -- it would probably work to mount a small light fixture. Some people would say not to use that in case the snake would get stuck to it, but I have had no issues...
