    we like to use ceramic heaters and one basking spot light (regular house light bulb, energy efficiant thou..lol) and that seems to do well

    For cage lighting that doesn't produce a lot of heat, you can't beat the flourescent light bars available at most department stores. I installed one in Magellan's enclosure, and it lights things up quite well, doesn't produce much heat, and the energy consumption is minimal. You can get them for well under $20 at places like WalMart, and if you want, you can install full spectrum bulbs in them to make the light more like sunlight.

    blacklights look way cooler, especially if the setup is sweet.

    Monty Joe likes basking in the blacklight at night.
    The only difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is....
