Re: Heating and Lighting for my 48" Neodesha cages.
What about a UVB fixture? I know they don't "need" it, but you may catch them out basking more with a UVB bulb.

Re: Heating and Lighting for my 48" Neodesha cages.
It depends on what you want to do, but I use RBI's T5 fixture and a 6% Arcadia UVB bulb.

Another option is a T8 fixture. I don't have a reccomendation for those, but any 2-3 foot T8 plant fixture should do. Either Arcadia brand or Reptisun of the correct length to match the fixture.

UVB bulbs should be replaced after a year.
Added bonus: if you get a fixture that supports two bulbs you can put a regular plant bulb in with the UVB, in case you wanted plants.

When I had mine, I was in a position that I had the whole room. So I just ended up heating the entire room to my desired temperatures. I know no help whatsoever, lmao. Again congratulations man, enjoy.

BAMP!
I've already decided on getting Ultratherm heat mats.
Lighting? There is SOOOO MANY CHOICES, it is overwhelming. I have been looking at LED strip tape lighting, as it is very cheap, energy efficient and will work as a more dim moonlight display light. I was also looking at getting good old dome lamps to place over the top vents, and just install and LED bulb.
I am hoping some members can show me that they have used for display lighting, or what they would recommend.
