Adult enclosure FINALLY finished and Toothless moved in!

I would of thought so as the flexi part is made of metal and is only containing the wires the heat is directed away.

I will say I have never made one but if you want I will.

I think the issue is in the part that you screw the bulb into, on computer lamps I don't know if it can take that type of heat (atleast not mine). I have one at my desk with a long wirey neck, and It has a 13 watt bulb reading 220 degrees F (100 C ? ) and is only designed for max of 13 or something)

Now I see were your coming from but I still think it can be done if you used a ceramic bulb holder, like I said I will make one when I get time but it wont be cheep lol.

Like this.

The light actually has a metal dome that attaches to it, but I removed the dome part . It was an old one I had lying around and just stuck it in there to raise the ambient temp. The temp on the log is 120. He doesn't use that spot to bask very often though from what I've noticed. He prefers the 160 main basking spot.

Great looking Sav and cage!
