Aquraiam lids and reptile bulbs?

Post by angelbearpuppy » Fri Feb 15, 2019 7:28 am

So I was curious. Could I use a aquariam lid such as the one here

And use a proper reptile heating bulb and if so what bulb would you suggest.

No, because those hoods take florescent strip bulbs which do not produce much heat.

Better to use an ultratherm or heat mat.
