Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Heating Problem
Hi everyone. I'm having trouble getting the repterium I have to the right temp for my cham. I'm not even close to where I need to be. I have a powersun 100 wt bulb and a basking bulb that is also 100 watts. Both of these bulbs are still not bring my temp up. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appricated.

I have a pretty large cage. Directly next to the lights i have the right temp but a foot away it is 10 degrees less. The temp is 85 and should be 95. I have shaded areas of the cage and the lower in the cage the lower the temp goes, which i know i need. I just can't seem to get the basking spot hot enough. I m gonna pick up a 150 watt basking bulb tomorrow and see how that works. I thought the powersun would kick out more heat. I don't want to put it so close that it burns the cham just to get the right temp.

hmm - two hundred watts should get your basking spot up to 95*f, easily.
How far are they away from your disired hotspot - My suggestion is either up the wattage or manuveur the spotlights so they are closer to the basking spot.
Cheers,

i have a reptarium too. I have the temp at my basking site at 105 with a 100 watt spotbeam bulb. your cage won't melt as long as the bulb isn't touching it. the reflector is ok to touch the cage. and your cham can't touch it if its outside of the cage on the top.
