Which design is better?

FlapJack16 · Feb 21, 2021

I know I made a separate post about this, regarding the height, and I decided on 15" tall, in a 24" tank.

That being said;
which design do you think is better- NOT for looks, but for ,basking, temperatures, and the dragon's health.
What would be most effective?

Design One
Staggered

Design Two
Stairs

They both have merits. The step design allows 3 levels of basking zone while still providing shade. The first design may be easier to maneuver up and down, but it only has the top two levels as basking zones while the third is in shade. Since there is already shade under the steps that may not be necessary. Either will work though.

You will need to have the UVB on top of the tank open for a T 5 bulb -- distance on that is 12-15 inches w/ NO obstruction -- you can get away w/it being on the screen providing the screen is a wide hole type --- any fine mesh it will haft to be unobstructed and the top of screen distance would need to be 8-10 inches directly above basking decor
