    You must have read my mind, that was another question I was going to ask about how long should the lights stay on for every day.
    Thanks for all your help.

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same exo terra unit as you for my 2 RETF's and use a full length heat mat on one side of the tank. Provides a nice temperature gradient across the viv. They have been fine in there for over 2 years. I am however preparing a new home for them in a 24*18*24 so might change over to the heat lamp as suggested.
    I will be using a reptisun LED unit with additional UVB T5, how would I add in a heat lamp to that setup?

    Hi Hoppy79,
    I wanted to answer your question as, well, it just seems rude not to, Ha ha. Having said that I am not really sure how you can go about that. I am a total beginner as I haven't got my frogs yet and have never had frogs before.
    I just had a peek at the lighting you said you will be using and it looks like it will take up all the room on top so as I say I don't know.
    I hope someone with the experience will be along soon to help you.
    I have found the heating and lighting side of all of this quite daunting. I have had to do a lot of reading and asking questions to get this far.
