BLUE TONGUE SKINK ENCLOSURE GUIDE

These layouts and product recommendations are just a baseline and general guide. Reptile keeping is an art and requires experimenting along with close monitoring to find out what bulb wattage and configuration will work best in your application. We always recommend manually checking with an infrared temp gun and a high quality thermostat to monitor and regulate temps.

Recommended Enclosure Customizations

The product links above include these customizations.

2 - 9" Square Screens (1 on the left & 1 on right)
Side Vents
No Belly Heat

We recommend the following sold separately:

Two 8-9" Dome Style Clamp Lamps
Arcadia Halogen Basking Bulb on the right side - I have a 75 watt bulb in mine.
22” Arcadia 12% UVB bulb on the right side (Another great UVB option would be the 22" Arcadia 14% UVB bulb)
24” T5 fixture that holds the above bulb
22" Arcadia JungleDawn LED Bar on the right side - this gives full spectrum lighting to both the blue tongue skink and the plants in my bioactive setup
Some people use a fixture in the cool side of the enclosure for nighttime heat if needed and use a deep heat projector.
