I recently created a custom enclosure for Stella. I setup a basking limb that got about 8 inches from the UVB and was 100 degrees with a digital thermometer. Well she wouldnt bask for long, and kept climbing under the tree. Then I started looking at the light setup in many enclosures. It seems as thought the basking site is seperate from the UVB basking area? So now I have her basking site setup, then I have a seperate tree that gets about 10 inches from the UVB. Is this exceptable? the enclosure is 48" long and I have a 36" reptisun 10.0 centered on the top.
The UVB is a HUGE, FAT bulb. It almost didnt fit in the ballast (matter of fact the bulb wouldnt fit if i used the screws to fasten to the ceiling) the box said to have it 12" from the reptile.
