All right, I'm getting my baby Hermann's finally in a week or two. (I was going to get one earlier and then financially things went wonky). Anyways, I'm getting a lot of jumbled answers for what heat and light to use and where to put them and such. My enclosure is about 3 1/2 ft long and almost 2 ft deep and I'm wondering how I should light it and heat it. (There are plans to double its size as it gets bigger.)
I already have a fixture with a stand from a friend. It's the ZooMed Deep Dome Ceramic Fixture. I do not have any light bulbs of any sort for it though. I was thinking of doing the ZooMed PowerSun 100W, but I've heard a lot of not so good reviews. Another is that babies need different lighting than adults? I've also heard that UVA and/or UVB should be across the whole enclosure and just a basking area for just heat.
So, keeping in mind I would like to spend as little as possible. What would be the best way to light and heat my enclosure?
Thanks in advance!
