Hey I was thinking of changing my heat source for my bp, she using a 100w 24/7 infra red bulb, but was maybe thinking of the radiator.....I no its 75w but gonna tidy up her viv and was thinking of doing away with the bulb??

Oh, the viv is a vx36!

Cheers

Hey soz i dont have a pic of it, Ive seen it. its flat and can be monted on the roof of the viv, its kinda like a big square shape thing. lol

ok I googled it , looks to be like the raidiant heat panels we use in this part of the world, would be better than the bulb you're using.

Hey Simon - Do you have a UTH on your setup to give your BP some belly heat? If you don't I would just keep your light and add a Under Tank Heating pad (my 2 cents). Going this route just requires a device to regulate the amount of heat the pad puts out like a thermostat or dimmer if you are on tighter budget. Don't wanna risk giving your BP a burn.....
