[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 28688, member: 1393"] Lol. I was waiting for someone to ask. Originally, when I got back into T's, I was fascinated with all the new technologies available for reptile keeping. Fancying myself as a closet scientist, I went to work establishing pinpoint temperature and humidity controls. The black "funnels" are actually mini-heat lamps. I found them to be less intense than the regular ones. In time, I realized that there were more negatives than positives using heat lamps and stopped using them for all buy my high temperature desert species (bottom row). Even then, they only run about four hours per day. But, when I removed them, something was missing in the overall appearance so I put them back on. Looks more "scientific" ;) Now, I use heat elements under the tanks and augment with a whole room space heater (wish I would have thought of that originally!). [/QUOTE]
