| Since this is first time I've used ceramic bulb in a viv I've noticed how warm the top of viv above bulb gets, its around 90f to 110 directly above it so i was just wondering do any of you guys use this heat for heating small enclosures for spiders or smaller reps? |

I use it to defrost mice and rats. I put them in an old ice cream container first!  |

avic's tend to make tube web's up on branch's/cork bark ect.
to be honest most T's will be fine at room temp just stick the tank's on the opposite end to the heat source on the viv |

most of the time i read as many different one's i can find via google as most of them have different good bit's of info or i ask other keeper's on various fb group's
if your on fb this group is very good an full of helpful people
https://www.facebook.com/groups/147547662067763/
with avic's you need lot's of ventilation in the lid, around the top of the setup and at floor level
this was my old avic's setup, can see the ventilation i put in the tub

| I use mine to defrost rats! The other day I put a lid on the pot I usually use and then forgot about them. Oh the smell! Marvellous! Snakeys liked it though! |
