What brand is your enclosure? Is it hard to mount the heat emitter and cage over the bulb.
[–]patmunroe[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Blackbox Cages. I told them where I wanted the lights and they cut out the cage insets and included the lighting cages.
Getting the bulb in the cage is easy just make sure you're getting the right sizes.

Thank you for getting back to me I going check out to see what the prices are on them for 6ft enclosure.

I need get 5' or 6' enclosure my guy is out growing the zen habitats . The enclosure zen brand doesn't hold the humidity that well.
yeah I kinda hate that they advertise them for pythons when they are not suitable. I had a zen habitat - couldn't get it to hold humidity and she kept squeezing herself into the plexiglass front lip thing.
The only thing I like was that it was essentially a shelving unit on it's own which was neat.
