-75w Basking bulb (Basking area temp: 99-103 Degrees F., I use a laser thermometer)
-T5 HO 22" 10.0 UVB Bulb and 24" Hood (Cooler side temp: 73-81 Degrees F.)

Beautiful tank --- but she wont be in it real long --- your screen is a wide hole type or fine mesh like a screen door -- this is important for UVB rays - if its a fine mesh the screen is blocking 30% of the rays and it would need to go into the tank or take the screen off or a way the UVB is unobstructed -- but she has a nice home --

I already have a 40g ready for when she fattens up a bit! I am waiting on a clamp and hanger for my UVB Hood so I can get rid of the fine mesh, thank you so much! :D

Also you might want to invest in some digital probe thermometers -- sometimes IR guns dont give correct temps as the materials throw them off like your hammock it cant read temps on hammocks -- and in case you dont have a hygrometer I would get one of those as well and place on the center back wall

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
