    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 looking to build a new rack for my Bearded dragon and 2 blue tongue skinks and I need heating suggestions. I'm looking at 12" high cages and I would like to put 3 of them stacked on 1 rack so I need some low profile heating sources to keep me from having to put any of the cages too high or too low. I'm getting old and getting down on my knees or using a ladder to access cages is getting more and more difficult. I can get some heat domes and make them work if I have to but I was just wondering if there were any new products out there that might work better.

Are the halogen lamps worth the extra money? I can probably shave a few inches if I go with them but they seem pretty expensive. All my life I have chosen the cheap but workable route but I may want to change my direction.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
For the BTS you could look at using radiant heat panels, as a large number of keepers in Australia don't use UVB for them. (I haven't kept them myself only experience is from videos from keepers). If you go with radiant heat panels for the blue tongues it would allow you to put the beardie up top with whichever light/heat setup you would like and the other 2 cages wouldn't require extra room above their enclosures.
