Either or... Wood will hold it's temp better and save you a little bit on power. I've got mine in glass and they're fine. I wouldn't use a fish tank though. It's easier having something that opens at the front.
Too easily

Way too noisy
Sounds like an rc helicopter in the room. I bought one and used it for about a week
For my last thread i didn't meen to stop giving them calsium when they get older I still give mine some once a week
and vitamin spray on there food and I give them a lot more vegtables, and you can sit a rock under you heat light
they heat up and stay warm, and I think glass is beter for lizards but thats personal prefrence.
cheers jason.

Please don't laugh I think I have this right if I get a infa-red heat lamp down one end of the enclosure does this double as a basking lamp or do I need another lamp and a UVB/UV light tube the length of the enclosure to go on the back of the enclosure is that light and heat sorted

You need one lamp to give heat and a fluoro uvb tube. It's personal choice between infra red, dark blue/purple or a ceramic heat bulb for heat. I would personally go for either the dark blue/purple or the ceramic because the red looks crap through the day. Just opinion. Thats all. It's also handy to get a decent thermostat which can drop the temps at night on a timer.

your on the gold coast,id say u could just have a timer to cut all heating off at night,room temps at night up there are quite mild
a uv tube and a nice bright light bulb for basking spot,i just use light bulbs u get at bunnings,reptile shop ones are ripped off,and are basicly exactly the same,so you spend so much more per light just for a box with a reptile on it
aim to make a basking area of around 40 degrees,but only that warm at the basking area,u can have a branch or rock pile elevated to create the basking area,then when they move away the temp drops
you want to create a temperature gradient,maybe around 24 at the cool end high 20,s to 30 odd up the warm end with a basking area around 40,that way the lizard/s can move where they want and thermoregulate,if they want to warm up they bask,if they want to cool down theres that option to

Isn't everybody? Greatest comic ever. When my wife and I moved out of our first apartment ten years ago she made me throw out my collection of phantom comics. They weren't in the best nic but but it was a pile 5 ft high. I really regret it now
Didnt think anyone would get the pygmy connection
I actually am a phantom tragic,I have over 2000 phantom items and my truck's signage is Phantom Transport
I have these items but not in the tank
I have heard these EXPLODE
