Where did you purchase the glass? The only time I've seen optiwhite used is in aquariums and it's expensive. I may have to try this out.

My local glass merchant (HW Glass: Leading UK Glass Manufacturer | Frosted Glass | Glass Cut) stocks it and I think they deliver nationwide. Most glass merchants use Pilkingtons Glass so should be able to get it for you. It is a bit more expensive but the benefits far outweigh the additional cost.

This is very good to hear Marcus, it'll be interesting to see these guys mature and become adults

great info on the glass. I have been looking around for UV penetrate glass for years without much luck. Pretty much every major institution engaged in frog breeding/conservation I have ever worked at or visited uses track lights as UV basking lights for all of their amphibians. If you remove the UV filtering glass cover of most commercially available track lights they produce quite substantial UV and would be put on for about an hr a day, through a screen lid of course.

This one was out learning from one of the adult females how to hunt springtails!!
