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.

Heat lamp cages and ceramic base... Can't seem to find em.
I am thinking about installing some ceramic light bases and heat cages in the enclosures (Help take the edge off real cold nights sort of thing). But they don't seem to be all that commonly available anymore. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Any suggestions where to find them? I have one installed in one enclosure but it was narrow and required me to hunt down a small base that was extortion level price. If I have to I suppose I can go that route again. But would prefer to stick to the less expensive standard stuff.

Home depot, or any electrical supplier should have standard base ceramic light fixtures for around 2bucks. A ceramic heater of whatever wattage can be screwed directly in. I use them in several of my cages.

What kind of enclosures? A friend runs two different heat pads over the winter, one at the typical high temp (90-92*F), and another larger one about 82-83*F that covers a good bit of the enclosure floor. He only turns on the big one over the winter so the whole floor gets warm, and the ambient temp does bump up a few degrees. His house temp is 65*F, I freeze when I visit!

I have a handful of standard bases, the problem I ran into was the particular cage I picked up was about 1/2" too narrow to fit over the standard bases, and unfortunately that particular cage is also the only one I've found at a nice price point, readily available and good quality.

They are AP T8s, and Vision 400s.

RHP are my preferred method of heating. I use them in all of my enclosures (Both Reptile Basics and Pro Products Panels.)
Problem I run into is I'd prefer to be able to manage those particularly cold points without relying on an oil filled heater in the room, or using heat tape, or a secondary heat panel.
