Hi All,
My little Western Hermann’s is going to arrive from Chris next week. I still need advice/help on lighting and heating products to buy. I’ve been researching for a while, and already bought some products, but I still have questions.
His first enclosure is 37” x 21”, but I have the classic Christmas tree bin for him to grow into.
1. Do I need UVB lamps to fit the long or short side? I’ve been looking for a while but find few options for 36” lamps or fixtures and never at the same time. 24” lamps are far readily available but are the sufficient?
2. Do I need a certain wattage of UVB or basking lamp? Is CHE a good option?
3. Are LED lights good? I’d prefer them if so. Any recommendations?
4. I don’t understand about thermostats. Do they regulate the UVB, basking, both at the same time for the same device? Do they have timers built in to turn off at night and on in morning? Is a timer something I need to buy?
5. What brand fixtures and bulbs do you buy for the UVB, basking, CHE, or LEDs?
Thanks!
