    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello,

I was just wondering what length fluorescent fixtures are most commonly used in 4ft cages? I can either use a 4ft fixture (diagonally acros the top) or a shorter fixture straight across the top center. I think the shorter one will look nicer but don't know if I'm better off with more light with the longer one? I've seen plenty of cage pics with 24" bulbs and would like to know if you feel they provide plenty of light? I would try to go with a single bulb fixture too to reduce bulb costs and the bulb lengths are pretty much all the same cost anyway. I will be using Reptisun 10.0 bulbs and the cages are for beardies.

Thanks,
Glenn
 
I have 24" fluorescent bulbs in my 4' cages, and 18" in my 3' cages, but those run across the back, in addition to a single bulb on one end to create a hot spot.
