Enclosure build

[sean8172]

I'm getting ready to start a 4x2x2 enclosure. I have a question about lighting. My goal is to have all lighting inside the enclosure. UVB should be super easy, but I'm unsure about the heat source. Any suggestions on what type of fixture I could use for inside the enclosure? I see these small fixtures in pet stores that basically look like an open, but protected, light bulb ballast. I would think this would work, but what about the bulb?

some use track lighting or something along that size with halogen bulbs. you could also do a full/partial screened top as i did

Thanks for the suggestion. What I want to do is have all lighting contained within the enclosure. No screen top, no lights on top, everything inside. Basically, I want to put another enclosure on top.

i would suggest

id say around $200 or less per cage. i am currently in the process of building a modified one of these myself.
