Lloydy,

A little suggestion. How about switching your amp to the top shelf during the winter months. The extra warmth will be much appreciated, I'm sure.

He's a bit bigger than a ferret clamp.

I've always found CAT 1 better than CAT 5 or 6.

*chuckle* ... but that's an HDX so our feline friend will be blissfully toasty!

One of the ladies that works in production here has a Uniti and her bearded dragon uses it as a hot rock...

We've warned you about your language before.

At least it isn't growling.

Well all I can say is, it looks a purrfect set-up.

At the same time that I'm having difficulty publishing an article in occupational health, other researchers have managed to publish the amazing discovery that Cats Prefer Species Appropriate Music

Highlights

•Music is often used for enrichment of animals but results are conflicting.
•We present a theory of species-specific music and test this with domestic cats.
•Cats responded more to species-appropriate music than to human music.
•Species-appropriate music is more likely to benefit animals than human music.

Abstract

Many studies have attempted to use music to influence the behavior of nonhuman animals; however, these studies have often led to conflicting outcomes. We have developed a theoretical framework that hypothesizes that in order for music to be effective with other species, it must be in the frequency range and with similar tempos to those used in natural communication by each species. We have used this framework to compose music that is species-appropriate for a few animal species. In this paper we created species-appropriate music for domestic cats and tested this music in comparison with music with similar affective content composed for humans. We presented two examples of cat music in counter-balanced order with two examples of human music and evaluated the behavior and response latencies of cats to each piece. Cats showed a significant preference for and interest in species-appropriate music compared with human music (Median (IQR) 1.5 (0.5-2.0) acts for cat music, 0.25 (0.0-0.5) acts for human music, P <0.002) and responded with significantly shorter latencies (Median (IQR) 110.0 (54-138.75) s for cat music, 171.75 (151-180) s for human music (P< 0.001). Younger and older cats were more responsive to cat music than middle-aged acts (cubic trend, r² = 0.477, P < 0.001). The results suggest novel and more appropriate ways for using music as auditory enrichment for nonhuman animals.

Well, recognising this isn't a reptile forum, but . . . the lady in production with the bearded dragon should be a little cautious using a Uniti as a hot rock. Firstly, bearded dragons really need a lamp as they're sun lovers; secondly, for their health they need cool as well as heat available to them; and thirdly, for the sake of the Uniti, it in't really possible to house-train a reptile :-)
