New tort table
Hi just read some Q's on tables, just set up a new bigger one for my 2 small Hermans, it was required from a major plumbing, bathroom firm, it is made solid from mdf, and measures 5 ft by 3 ft. They are sent to the merchants with shower trays in them. The one i got was of a plumber friend, but if your willing to go to your nearest bathroom centre and ask if they have one lying around, they have been known to throw them in skips. If they have one and are reluctant to part with it, offer a small donation to the beer, sorry i mean Christmas fund have took photo's

Alice it's a home made reflecter for a uv tube that i am using up, it has about 3 mnths life left in it. then i will dump it, and just use my heat/uv flood.

put a sheet across the top of the uv light, it stops uv being wasted by going upwards
