The closest distance that the UV should be from his basking spot is 8 inches away. Anything closer may be causing harm than good.
sadly I don't have any way of removing the mesh screen, there is no other way the uvb light would stay up. Hopefully the vet knows whats wrong because he seems to have lost his appetite/interest in basking, (though that could because he's outgrown his basking spot). Hopefully when he stops having bloody poos he'll get his appetite back. Leaving for vet in a few mins wish us luck
