Loved the video mate such an underrated herp channel
Thanks mate that means a lot 👊
Where did you get the fixture for this lamp? I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find one that seems suitable for this kind of light :(
Same! I lm in the same boat
Had the same question - and I found it! Whitepython Ceramic Heat Guard and Reflector.
Great video, I just bought one of these and I can't wait to see how it works. I love your message on constantly trying to improve captive animal life! This also helped me install my DHP correctly on the mesh of the lid of the aquarium. I am a little concerned if the mesh could melt on an aquarium, haha.
Been running a DHP on my Grandis enclosures for a month or so and he loves it. I run it on an evo lite on a day and night cycle to give both daytime basking and some ambient heat at night alongside a heat mat on the side of the tank. Every morning since having it he wakes up and comes and warms up under the lamp. Considering replacing my che with one in our Pueblan enclosure as run a day and night cycle for temps.
Thats good to know mate and glad you're getting on with them. I just went up to check on Bert and he is flat out under the heater now looking happy as Larry. Its always a good feeling knowing they are that much happier. Anyway hows your new year been so far mate?
@@JonsRainforestRoom all good thanks Jon, finished corn snake enclosure and she moved in last night and the crestie should be moving to his new enclosure this week. Just pleased we have the reptiles to keep the family sane at the moment!!
How about you?
Nice! Sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy at the moment. How did the corn snake enclosure turn out? I know I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my animals and my channel. Ohhh and my fiancee 🤣
All good thanks mate getting some projects done in the room and the list keeps growing but I love it that way 👍
@@JonsRainforestRoom sent you a mail with a quick pic. New leopard gecko enclosure is next, so yes plenty to do.
Agree that life would be tough without the animals, important to have a focus at the moment.
It turned out great! Looks like loads of shelter and places to climb. A leopard gecko setup will be something different.
Definately. My fiancee is even going to have a go at scaping soon
Would it be possible to use the arcadia deep heat projector instead of a halogen light as a source of heat for a corn snake or would both be needed?
This would be a great addition to your snakes lighting but you would still need a basking light as that's how they identify heat sources, from the light 👍
@@JonsRainforestRoom great thank you for the quick reply
@@a.s.e7815 no problem. Let me know if you need anything else 👍
What thermostat do you run this off, I currently use CHE and thinking to add this to my bearded dragon and replace my snakes CHE. I use digital pulse stats. Are these bulbs ok to use with this type of stat
I'm very late to this but they according to Arcadia they work best and last longest with dimming thermostats
@@Daft_Vader I did get a dimming stat in the end
What's best to have this heat set up with? Pulse/on/off or dimming thermostat?
Dimming
Well this is perfect timing!! I’m considering switching to DHP for andromeda. Hope you’re well my friend 💜
Hey Elise!!! Haha I have a sixth sense. They are a great heating source and really benefits the animal. Hows the new leopard gecko doing?
@@JonsRainforestRoom aww she’s doing really good. She has a little heart shape in her markings on her head which is just adorable. I’m enjoying taking care of the feeder insects to and giving them a good life with plenty of room. If you’re ok with me DMing you on Instagram I’ll chat more and show you pics etc. I need to catch up on your videos too 💜
Thats great! Glad she's doing well and I'm sure you will get so much enjoyment from her. Yes, no problem at all 😁
Do you know if this bulb is compatible with the flukers 8.5 dimmable switch dome
Yes. I’m using it in one now
Would love this for my leopard gecko.....his enclosure is only 12” tall though. I suppose it would have to be hung instead of just setting on screen to get that proper distance between basking spot and heat projector...
Hey Tracy and thanks for leaving a comment. I have seen people drill a hole in the top of a wooden tank and they cover with mesh. You could then add one on? If you did add it into the tank you would need to add the thermostat probe on the basking spot 👍
Thanks Jon. So, I couldn’t put it inside, because even with it just on top of the screen, distance from basking spot to projector would only be about 8”, which would be way too hot. Would the thermostat be able to control that though?
Ok I see what your saying. Do you have anything on top of this tank? If you cut a hole in the top of the tank with a hole saw you could add mesh on the inside of the tank and the hear emitter would sit on the mesh outside of the tank so the distance from the heater to the floor of the tank would be 12". Does that make sense lol?
It’s just a screen top, so no worries about having to cut anything. My concern is that it would be too close, therefore too hot. But I’m assuming the thermostat could be set to the desired temp and it would keep it cool enough even though without the thermostat it would be too hot....right?
Spot on! As long as the probe of the thermostat is next to the basking spot it will turn off whatever temperature you set it at. Just make sure you have it on a dimming thermostat 👍
Dude, where'd you get the bulb cage??
Is that custom?? (1:00)
My 80watt Arcadia lamp burnt out in one night on a dimming thermostat set up
I have the same for my panther chameleon- deep heat projector on thermostat
Amazing! What are your thoughts on it mate?
@@JonsRainforestRoom they are amazing I have brown basilisk on this one as well and he loves to bask under Its beneficial for them and heat without another light so it’s best for their eyes plus you still can use at night
Thats good to know. I've been meaning to change them up for a while. Love brown basilisks by the way 😆
@@JonsRainforestRoom basilisk are crazy 🤣 and bloody fast 🤣🤣 every time when he see me it’s bobbing his head 😳🤣
@@JonsRainforestRoom I have male chahoua gecko male he is about 3 years old I am thinking to cut down a bit my big lizard family if you want him just let me know For free cuz you are amazing keeper I won’t sell him anyway to anybody only good person so just let me know if you want him
Im just setting up a bearded dragon vivarium and am considering using one of these. Which wattage would you recommend for a 4x2x2 vivarium - the 50W or the 80W?
It's hard to know really without trying them out. Every setup is diffirent and depends on the climate in your area. But if you are looking at a basking option the 50w should be fine but if you are trying to raise ambient temperatures then a higher wattage might be better 👍
@@JonsRainforestRoom cheers thank you for that
Great channel!
Thanks very much mate! 😁
@@JonsRainforestRoom possible to do a video of water system for chameleons? Like the flow(misting/spray and go bottom of cage to bucket or pan) from top to bottom and set up? Be great to apply to my set up!
Edit: instead of my system, but everyone who else has a chameleon/same set up.
Sounds like a good video to be fair. I've just ordered some items to make a DIY dripper for this tank and I will be setting the mistking up again soon too so will do all in 1 video for you 👍
@@JonsRainforestRoom that be awesome!! You earned a subscriber, I'll be following your channel for a long time now. 🤗🥳
Haha that good to hear and look forward to seeing you in the comments 👍
Is it easy to connect a thermostat ?
Very easy...just plug the power supply cord from the fixture your deep heat projector is in into the plug in on the thermostat. Plug the thermostat into the wall outlet, then follow the directions for your particular thermostat to set the temperature. Also place the thermostat temperature probe at the appropriate height for the specific animal you are keeping in the enclosure.
@@jameswilliford5478 ye thanks, I got the deep heat projector a couple weeks ago and it’s very good, and ye obviously got a thermostat too
@@simondaltoncelis3030 Which thermostat did you get?
@@MIKOLAnation I got a dimming thermostat from habistat
@@simondaltoncelis3030 was It expensive? I've seen some for like 100 dollars, it's ridiculous
notification gang
Haha nice one mate!
Just got one of these, is the heating element meant to stay on the red glow once it reaches the thermostat temp? Mine don't show any glow ,
See I’m confused, I had this DHP as a my main heat lamp day and night for my dragon. He sadly died unknown what this was from. I’m since looking at rehoming and I’ve been told not to use this heat lamp as a main heat source. Opinions?
Nice tech video pal. Started watching this yesterday then it disappeared! Check out what I’ve just uploaded. Think you might like it 😂
Haha I know, i uploaded it and I miss spoke in the intro and the music was going up and down in volume in the 2nd half so I took it down and re uploaded it today. Thanks for watching it twice though 😁
I didnt recognise it was you at first mate with the swanky new logo. Loving it mate and hope you stick with the UA-cam game 😁
Class ive just seem what it is and will be watching it as soon as I've had my dinner 👍
Hope you’re not too offended pal!
Nah mate, not at all! I almost wet myself to be fair! You will never offend me my Welsh brother 🏴 Class video mate, keep it going now 😆
But how am I going to seek revenge 🤔🙃 😅
Oh dear! Like that is it? You could double your bodyweight and not trim the beard for a year and do an impression of me!
Haha I come in peace ✌
With lockdown im headed that way 🤣
