I have a few lighting questions. I got 2 bearded dragons this month and 2 Vivexotic Viva Vivarium, 45" x 19" x 17" each.
1st enclosure is for Hutchi, a 4 years old rescue male. I have a reptiGlow 10 42inch in it. I didnt know it wasn't that good when I bought it so I am planning on changing it when time comes to change the tube in a few months. But for now:
First question: Is the ReptiGlow 10 too close from any of the platforms? Should I move it toward the front/middle? I usually have aluminum foil to reflect above it too.
Second question: Can I add a GreenSun aquarium led light that i already have here for extra lighting for now?
Second enclosure is for Heidi my 2.5 month baby girl. She is presently in a 25 gallon but I will move her to her bigger terrarium in the next week. I got a ReptiSun 10 T5 34inch and a sunblaster NanoTech reflector for her but after doing some research on here and other sites, I worried it might be too strong for the available distance.
3rd question: Is the ReptiSun 10 T5 would be at a safe distance from the basking area if I fix it toward the front of the terrarium? The tube in the back would be way too close if it's a t5 correct?
4th question Since I can't get the ReptiSun 10 t5 any farther than 12 inches, should I removed the reflector to lower the light intensity?
Thanks in advance for your help.
