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.

NEED HELP WIRING TEGU HEAT LAMP 8x4x4 CAGE
I just made my first tegu enclosure and i wired porceline light fixtures to a ceiling pan. Using the temp gun I noticed the ceiling pan got to 154 degrees and that is attached directly to the oak top of my tegu enclosure. I am very afraid of having a fire so I have unplugged everything and I need some help with how to install a heat bulb directly in the enclosure safely. Thank you for anyone who can help me.

I'm pondering something simular with some tortiouses.
I'm thinking a heat shield section made out of hardy backer board or just backer board.
This material is concrete base and used to set tile on.
Hardy backer is dense 1/4 inch (some times 1/2 inch) and backer board is less dense and comes in 1/4 and 1/2 inch.
I think if you shoot a decent lowish temp on the back side you should be able to apply that to your safety value.
This idea is not far off from using an asbestos panel heat shield other than it NOT being asbestos.
YMMV
Good luck to ya.
Andy
