Hey! So I believe I'm done tweaking with my cage for now. Curious to see if any of you have any advice/things you'd have done differently in terms of bulb placement and such. Critique away! It's pretty basic.
Your tank setup looks good. The tube bulb, is it a Reptisun or an Arcadia?
The tube bulb, it doesn't have a reflector around it correct? The UVB would be better directed if you had a fixture over it so it would be directed more downward.
Overall it is functional, bright & decorative. Your dragon looks pretty content there basking.
What are you using to measure the temperatures?
It's a Reptisun. And no, it does not have a reflector. I was using 3m hooks that seemed to tilt the bulb upward, so I decided to just use adhesive velcro. It's facing level now instead of upward. I just bought a Walmart under-the-counter fixture to use and removed the cover. The reflector I was using previously was sitting on top of the screen and I didn't want to lose any UVB so I just mounted it on the interior.
Also, do you think the UVB light could be too close to the basking spot? The little guy seems to be closing one eye fairly frequently. It's about 10" away, though.
