So i have Fred in a 40 gal breeder, was originally going to do exoterra but the 40 dollar petco sale got me... anyway, i have a hinged screen top, all metal, folds in center to help with access. UVB is mounted atop screen in reflective hood with basking light adjacent to it. I know optimally heat and UVB should overlap, however due to the screen top i can only place them side by side... question is really about the UVB i think. I usually see measurements and diagrams showing relative UVB intensities projected downward, however not many showing how it is affected at the ends of the lamp, so at the lamp holders and diagonally downward. I know light bends and so i know it doesnt just come straight down but how much will actively be radiating diagonally? because the light from basking and UVB will not technically be overlapping much, how can i modify set up so basking will lay underneath uvb zone? Let me know if my question makes sense.
