Heating a Reptibreeze XL

[Adman]

Sorry folks if it comes off as pestering, but I've sorted out the lighting of my XL Reptibreeze (I've purchased an Arcadia 24W D3 12% Canopy), into which I plan on moving my male veiled in maybe 6 weeks, but now I'm in need of a little help in regards to the heating.

As I'll have a pretty decent light source over the viv, are there any recommendations/suggestions as to the type of heat source I should provide? Should I use a basking bulb, ceramic, heating cord, any ideas?

You can just use a dome reflector with a regular incandescent bulb. Start with a 60W and see where your temps are at. I always put mine directly on the screen, but many people put them a few inches away form the screen.

Any recommendations of the reflector? Do you think the Lucky Reptile Thermo Socket Plus Large would suffice?

It really doesn't matter what you use.. As long as it has a reflector (small or large) and works, you're just fine.

So pretty much any reflector will take a regular household light bulb?

I never actually got an answer to my last question on this thread, can anyone fill me in about regular household bulbs and lighting/heating domes?

Something like this and a regular 60 watt incandescent light bulb. The reflector is the interior layer.
