Hello everyone, I have had Carmella for 2.5 years and she is in a 4x2x2 glass aquarium with no top.(has been in the enclosure for about 2 years). I have some questions about lighting. She has been very healthy, has grown a lot, and is the nicest Dragon you could meet. She is on non adhesive shelf liner, with a natural rock and 2 pieces of large Mopani wood. Since it is a rather large tank I have 2 basking spots (90watt Flood) that range from 102-80 degrees with the floor being in the mid 70’s. The heat should be good, but UVB is the question. I have a 2 foot ReptiSun 10.0 T8, after reading here lately not sure if it’s enough. The light is 11inches from top of the highest basking spot, and 20 inches off the floor. Here are some pics..... (towel isn’t in there)
She has been in tank for awhile and she is doing great. But if I need to upgrade I was thinking ReptiSun 10.0 t5HO with a fixture to lay on top of the tank. Only question would be how long, and if it is longer that two feet is it ok to have it run across the plastic support on top of the tank? Thank you!
