Fantastic to see you back Joe. I enjoyed watching this and your chat with Liam. Was cool to see where you are right now. I've always regarded your videos as among the very best 'how to' guides for reptile keepers on UA-cam even from such a young age. Always explained clearly, thoroughly, in an easy to understand manner and with humility and passion for the subject matter. A real credit to you. UA-cam is losing out without you. P.S. Your Twin-spotted rat snakes are doing fantastic and I bred them with my own animals this year. Some of the babies have inherited Rusty's cool red colour! If you ever decide you would like some please let me know and I will sort you out with some. Ciao for now! Enjoy playing with rocks :D
Agreed. Good thermostats allow you to set outputs for a basking lamp (%), and then you moderate air temperature separately. The EVO Connect 3 is useful for this.
❤❤❤! This sort of care I aspired to provide! Just haven’t got the urge to fix something unbroken at the moment My animals are living and seem to be thriving! And I don’t wanna change that if it’s working! You know
Nice to see a video from ya Joesph! Solid tips as always. I really liked the emphasis on providing "comfortable" ambient temperatures in the second half of the video.
I'm sorry but I still don't quite understand. So my sandfish does or doesn't need a hot spot with a surface temp 130F? Or does he just need it to be bright and a little warm??
Is this video against the use of DHPs? I'm very confused as to why I bought one from Arcadia now for my leopard gecko. I even got a dimming thermostat for it. I just use a heat mat to keep it warm enough in the warm hide at night, and a Shadedweller 7% plus a 35W Halogen, 10-12 inches above the basking zone, on top of wire mesh. Should I just stop using my deep heat projector? It helps simulate sunrise and sunset and I turn it off at night, an hour and 15 minutes after the halogen turns off (and turns on an hour 15 before the halogen comes on)
Ive been torn, i have used t5 UVB and t5 grow light plus a basking dome and bulb for years but im wanting to upgrade. I have a biotope setup of native southeastern reptiles and amphibians. Are domes more common as nd standard than t5 ? I have flickering with t5 ballasts over time.
Joe, I bought a 48 inch T5 linear UVB fixture and bulb. Do I need Mercury Vapor Bulb that is full spectrum or a halogen spot light bulb, or a projector bulb for a heat source? The full spectrum mercury bulb is probably the best but can I get bye with a halogen bulb? They are cheaper. Who win the halogen or the projector bulb for heat? Thanks for the video.
Would really like to see an update to your video about cohabiting 👍
the king returns

Welcome back! I’m glad you’ve returned to making videos!
Your content is excellent. Thanks for sharing. I've been trying to figure out the best setting for a ball python. It isn't easy
A really excellent and informative presentation, couldn't be explained better! Needs sharing widely! :)

I've really enjoyed your videos, and learnt a huge amount from you Joe. Thank you. Best of luck with your studies and your future.

Great to see you online once again
I have my setups as close to what you advise as I can.

Great to see you back
I have missed my JTB fix, withdrawal symptoms 🏆, just churn one out every now and then 👍, once you are in you are in for life 🤣.
Nice way to wind things down. Thanks.

I think they work well, providing they are paired with a decent thermostat.
Great video! 👌🎯💯

Halogen. Mercury vapours are green tinged and don't replicate sunlight well.
