Distance from UVB?

From my UVB light to the bottom of the enclosure is 15" but when you add a half hide and decor to sit on it's 10"- 12" from the UVB. Just wanted to make sure 10"-15" is safe for them it was originally 15"-20" from bottom to the light which is why I dropped it

It is a Arcadia T5 13% dessert tube not coil/bulb it goes over half the enclosure
Vet suggested to lower it down

You want it 12-15 inches from the basking decor piece

From the half log it's 13"-15"

I'm currently getting some more decor that'll make me change the distance a bit

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
