    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

I'm putting together an Iguana cage. I want to know what is available to maintain temps in a melanin enclosure 4(h) x 2(d) x4(w).
Is there a product I can buy that will take the temps and adjust the light and heat accordingly... sounds like too much to ask! Is there such a product though? I want to be assured that when I go to work and school the little guy isn't gonna fry (hopefully the cool side will stay cool enough). I know too much or too little heat can stress or harm the Ig.
I live in Chicago. Will one 160 Watt ZooMed PowerSun bulb and a ceramic fixture be enough for that big of a cage? Does the PowerSun bulb emit enough UVA/B rays that I don't need a flourescent source of light... according to Reptile Depot, I don't? Should I include a conductive heat source for reptiles, like the Exo-terra heat wave rainforest product... it's cold in Chicago?
Any other recommendations for heat and light besides the two that I currently have?
Also, can anyone recommend a good vet in Chicago?

Thanks,
G
