    I originally wired some white ccfls to use, but when I wired it I did it directly so I had plug it in and out when I wanted it on/off, which is pretty annoying. Make sure you wire it though so you make use of the on/off switch that came with the ccfls.

    thasnks for the heads up but i already intended to use a switch :)

    anyways here is the power source. 12V 500mA DC

    Here is the thing connected ot the harness, switches and inverter box. i ended up using led tubes as the cathode tubes colors looked washed and provided no lighting effect. good thing i brought home both :D

    now obviously ill find places for the switches and the inverter in a hidden spot. but this looks interesting i will post pics of what it looks like installed.

    our two snakes absolutely love their red light. we tried alot of different lights but they prefer their leds. their not like a typical bulb that will keep raising heat leds are constantly a temp that a snake feels. ours are far more active in red leds.

    Snakes can't see red, so how can they love it?
