UV striplight question

[Shaun1946]

Hi all,

New to the forum. I'm picking up a Horsfield on Monday. I have done my research, on here and other forums. I have built a table, I have a basking lamp, thermometer, top soil, play sand, I know what to feed it (weeds not pellets) etc.

First of all, have I missed anything?

Secondly, I have bought an Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 UV strip light. What controller do I need for it? I have seen this on Swell:

Is that what I need?

Sorry if I seem dim (excuse the pun) but I was previously unaware a uv strip set up would cost this much!

Thanks,
Shaun

hi shaun and welcome to the forum.
that controller will be ok just make sure to buy the correct wattage for your size tube.
it does cost quite a tidy sum when you start up but thats soon forgotten when tortie comes along!
