Hi All,
I'm sure this has been covered before but I have searched and searched.
I am getting a new Zen 4x2x2 enclosure and also am going to get a new T5 HO hood and 10.0 bulb.
I am torn on length of UVB hood/bulb for the size of the enclosure. I see people use the 24" long hood and than others say to have it 2/3 length of enclosure which would put it closer to a 36" hood.
What are you using or recommending for that size enclosure ?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I have 2 Zen Habitats and use the 24" fixture -- it works fine-- I want my dragons out and not hiding from the UVB ---

22 inch if you are using the 14% Arcadia bulb
34 inch if you are using the 12% Arcadia bulb or Reptisun 10.0 HO

I prefer the 22 inch with the 14% since the 14% allows me to not need a massively tall basking area (assuming your fixture is mounted at the top of the 4x2x2)

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
