Why do you want a light fixture? BP are nocturnal and don't need UV light, you don't need anything more then then regular daylight that is in your room.

As far as thermostat here is a good source http://www.reptilebasics.com/store/home.php

k thanks...

you don't want a lights structure.....believe me, I used to have it and its just annoying, the heat never gets high enough and the humidity stays extremely low.....forget that idea and get a UTH and a thermostat....get a Ranco thermostat from reptilebasics.com

BP's do not need that $80 UV light that those pet store employees probably tricked you into buying.....it happened to me too

yeah they did make me spend some cash lol but i took it all back lol and am waiting for my thermostat to get here. thanks a lot. my snakes show up next week whoohoo
