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.

Lighting PVC Cages After Market
What are some good ways to light PVC cages for ball pythons and leopard geckos? I bought the cages eight years ago, so choosing lighting and letting the builders install isn't an option. I'm currently looking at color-switchable LED light strips, so that I can choose between using red and white light (cleaning is easier with full spectrum), but I'd like to hear what you all have done to light your cages.
I realize that nocturnal reptiles don't need light, but it's helpful during feeding time, to check quickly on everyone, and when I need to clean the cages. My house doesn't have a lot of ambient light.

Good Idea!
I didn't think of using the led light strips. I imagine that you could run the strips along the bottom corner along the wall of each rack slot. It wouldn't be the most efficient, but if you had a white rack, more light would be reflected into the tub.
I would imagine you could also rout out a slot and and light each tub with an led from above.

I use a blue "moonlight" LED strip I purchased from Dr. Foster & Smith online. It was around $10 and I use it for transition lighting during the evening/night. One 3 bulb LED strip lights a 36 x 24 x14 enclosure quite well.
