Lighting PVC enclosures

[Little Wise Owl]

How do I go about doing this? I'm tired of my snake enclosures being so dark. I know some use LED strip lighting but how would I go about installing something like this? If anyone has lights in their PVC enclosures, please post pictures and instructions on how you installed them.

Thanks

I'd talk to or take a look at some of the pvc manufacturer websites. They may be able to tell you or youtube them.

I know boaphile does the install if you want it at time or purchase so maybe e-mail them.

I'll shoot them an email as well.

You could use a simple rope lighting and glue it to the roof of the viv with silicon if you didn't want to drill any type of hole in it. Just need 1 hole out the back for the power cord.
That is what I did in my wooden vivs but I can see it working in any type. The rope lighting goes around the front and both sides.

To mount a fluorescent fixture or a radiant heat panel ( rhp) for short is very simple. You need to drill a hole in your PVC , then countersink it. you then push a flat head bolt from the outside in and use a nut to hold it in place.
