I'm getting ready to build a new beardie apartment building (a 3 bay beardie enclosure) as my two little beardies are coming up on their 1st BDs in a few weeks and I plan on upgrading the little ones from their 100L rearing tubs to full sized (4ft x 2ft) enclosures shortly after they turn 1 year old and as soon as I can build the 3 bay apartment building. Rex's old full sized tank will be mothballed until I have a need for another full sized tank as will the two 100L rearing tubs (again).Sharpy":3gr4g2f3 said:Hi Karen
T8 is what you have in your viv ( my son & my friend have same kit)have 6"-8" from basking spot same as you have.
Needs changing every 6 months or so.
T5 is a higher output so you can have a bigger distance I believe 10"-12" from basking spot.
Needs changing every year or so.
So IMO what you have is good for the height of your viv.
I have been following your posts as I'm also from UK & i like your Rankins
