Hey, so I got the long, fluorescent reptisun 10.0 24’ t8 high output for my beardie, but I am confused as to where to set it up. I didn’t know at the time that if you get a t8, they say to mount it in the cage itself, but you can put a t5 on the screentop. I’m worried that if I mount my bulb in his cage, it’ll be too close to him (like his basking spot distance would be about 8-10 inches, but there’s another spot on his hammock where it’d be 3-4 inches. Luckily, ]my cage is 48’ long, so I could just set up the uvb to not be over that area but still be over his basking spot. So, i’ve also heard that fine mesh screens block out around 30% of the uvb. But, it seems that the screen on my cage isn’t fine, and the holes are fairly big. If I put it on the screen, would it be ok?
