Just purchased a Arcadia 12% for my dragon and it will be shining thru a screen not fine mesh it’s a little bigger. His basking surface is about 10 inches from the bulb but it’s also a few inches in front because I can’t get it right under the tube or the basking light will be right over the fixture. Is this ok or do I need it to be closer/further away.

Yeah that sounds about right for that bulb. The mesh size really determines how much gets through but generally 10'' or so is about right in most situations for a 12% T5 through a mesh top.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
