I have made the decision to scrap my MVB (it will be my "travel bulb"), buy a dimming thermostat, T5 light fixture and hallogen spotlight bulb to better regulate the temps and UVB in my terrarium.
Right now I have a front-opening exo-terra 36"x18"x18" and have every intention on getting a 4'x'2'x2' front-opening terrarium at a show in October.
So, tht being the case, I'm stuck on what size of fixture and bulb I should get - I will most likely be transferring this light fixture to the 4x2x2 enclosure in a few months.
Sooo... I don't want a 34" because that would not provide an ability to get out of he UVB in the 36" enclosure (other than going in his hide), so it is pretty much between the 18" and 24".
In his current viv, an 18" would cover half of it, leaving an 18" "off" zone. A 22" would cover nearly 2/3 of it.
I'm leaning towards the 22", in hopes that I may not have to upgrade to a larger sixe when transitioning to the 4x2x2. Any thoughts? Is the 22" what I want?
Thanks
