I will admit Richard, I climate control the whole room, so what I said may not be applicable to others.

However, did you know you can use small track light bulbs as basking lamps that will make a nice little 3 inch basking spot..

Everyone keeps recommending snakes and lizards but it doesn't matter how small they are. It's impossible to create a proper temperature gradient or range of conditions in something so small. It's not just about enough space for the animal and it's not about the animal having enough room to roam. It's too damn small, even if your snake or lizard is only a couple of inches long.

I know there will be plenty of people who say otherwise. It's just my opinion that if you use something that small, there's no room for error. The entire enclosure can get too warm, or be too cool but if you have something bigger, it can be too warm on one end, too cool on the other, and it won't matter.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!!! That was a concern when I posted this. No warm side/hot side. Don't know why I forgot to wright that down. Dang, now I'm confused.

That's ALSO what I thought... shucks, I'm confused... Should I put anything in it or not?!?
