I need a new viv because my old one is falling to pieces and I like the look of the exo terra's. They have a built in lighting area which is fixed outside of the tank which is perfect because my light gets really hot.
Heres a picture of the tank if my explanation is bad: Exo Terra : Products : Habitat Kit Rainforest

The only thing I need help with is heating the tank.
I'm not sure if the lighting area also has a heating part or if they do bulbs designed for that part of the tank which heat and light...
If not, how could I heat the tank?

Thanks,
Goldie

I use a lot of Exo's and I just use a dome light outside the tank, I wouldnt waist money on the Exo light thing. You can get a dome light for 10 bucks or so if you dont already have one. On a few I have florescent lights just for a little extra lighting like on my Phelsuma tanks. But as long as the heat light isn't right on the plastic you wont have any problems. They are very good tanks as far as I'm concerned and I plan on getting plenty more of them. In some of the tanks I use a 100W bulb and still havnt had any problems. A few have melted tops from being careless but they seem to be made of a fire retardant material and none have came close to catching fire. So as long as you dont have a blast heater on there you should be good.
