Currently my son's bearded dragon has a T8 10.0 light that is 8" from the surface of highest basking spot. It is in one of my DJ blacklight fixtures and I'll need it back Anyway, purchased a T5 fixture with reflector and a ZooMed 10.0 bulb. Changing in-tank decor is kind of last resort so how far above the tank/basking spot do I need to move the light.? I can get it about 12" from light to surface of highest basking spot. Would that suffice with no tank lid screen? Or would I be better off keeping it lower and use the mesh lid from the tank? It's the old school looks like screen door mesh. Another option is I have some plastic gutter guard with bigger openings (see attached pic) that I could used to fashion a "cover" for the light to diffuse some of the UVB.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
