 |
|
Hi all.
I am having a rack built in the next few weeks to house my Ball Pythons and Corns and I want to have the rack lighted so that each tub has a nice red glow.
I am looking for ideas of low-heat red lighting that doesnt take too much space.
I know that Boaphile Plastics use red rope light which I thought was pretty novel (see pics at bottom).
Any other ideas?
I am also interested in any other design suggestions. My rack will house two columns of 9 tubs. I plan to have a heatmat under every tub, all on individual Mat Stats to make sure I can individually control the heat in every tub.
Any thoughts?
Many Thanks
Gary

A custom built wooden rack.
These are the boxes I have, obviously not in a rack and still with lids on, just making sure they all fit 
Gotta buy some more this week

It would be great if somene starting importing the boaphile stuff.
I am sure someone who is big in the reptile world could import a container full and make a few quid.
