Yeah. You could use a bigger one in a tank that long but the 24'' will be good enough. The goal is to provide a beam that is at least as wide as the length of your dragon so they can bask evenly. If you have that covered then it's enough. It's good to have an area of intense UVB while providing some other areas with less or no UVB so they have choices available.

Thank you Cooperdragon. I thought it was enough. Another forum was saying it was not enough. Still trying to figure out what is wrong with Mordecai. Vet is stumped at this time. Might get and atadenvirous test done just to be safe.

Might be worth doing just to know. I hope it doesn't come back positive but would be good to know either way.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
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 💔
