    Buy a socket with it when you buy it. they are dirt cheap and simple to wire.

    That lamp looks grand tbh, fair play to you man at least you're taking the right steps to look after them. The damn lights are expensive aren't they.

    Dont get me started on pet shops and turtle sales, it makes my blood boil.

    I was in a shop, a fairly well known shop in Dublin, about 4 months ago, and the guy was selling a YBS to a little girl, telling her that it would stay that small and could live in this tiny plastic tub with about 2 inches of water for the rest of its life......sickening.
