    Ok so just one infrared bulb 24/7 and no other lighting?? I know they do not require lights like other reptiles do but some people on hear also talk about screwing up their night/day cycles.[/QUOTE]

    The natural light in the room will provide a day/night cycle. The infrared bulb produces a light that isn't visible to them so it will not disturb them.

    I prefer these: http://m.petsmart.com/mt/www.petsmar...3&lmdn=Reptile

    Yes you need 2 light fixtures.

    I get this configuration:

    T8 with sliding glass doors
    Cage locks
    Flexwatt
    2 fluorescent light fixtures
    Pop in/pop out divider

    Throw in your cage decor and a thermostat and you are good to go.
