All reptiles need access to plenty of light and warmth. Ideally, your pet should be able to soak up some natural rays of sunlight on a regular basis. Since this is not always possible, full spectrum UV lighting is an important component for your skink tanks. If you utilize both methods, your pet will be guaranteed to receive all the lighting he needs to stay healthy and happy.
Sunlight is full of Vitamin D and other minerals. If you watch your pet in his skink tank, you will notice that he naturally gravitates toward any sun that shines through his cage. Try placing your skink tanks close to a large window. This will enable the sunlight to come through and penetrate your cage. Your pet will be ecstatic with this source of light. Watch how he crawls right over to it, basking in the warm sun.
Illuminating Your Skink Tanks
While light fixtures and fluorescent bulbs are an important part of your skink tanks, you may be somewhat worried that they will be an eyesore. This is a valid concern. But there are ways to work around this. If you purchase your skink tanks through Custom Cages, you can order a custom-made hood. The hood is designed from the same material as the frame of your cage. It will give your cage a finished appearance. Best of all, a hood will hide any unsightly wire fixtures. So you won’t have to worry about a mess of metal and wire ruining your stunning skink tank.
If you decide to purchase a hood, you may want to throw in a stand. Stands also have their benefits. They will elevate your skink cage to eye level, which will make it easier to see your pet. You can store supplies and food underneath the stand. So you will have easy access to everything you need.
At Custom Cages, we’ve thought of everything to make your reptile–keeping hobby as satisfying as possible. Our expert design team and staff work tirelessly to perfect our systems and continually improve our products.
