i ordered the reptisun 10.0 for now i have the zilla 50uvb i am using wire hangers to hang the uvb hood best i could think of!!!! on the hit side i have 150 watt halo bulb and also have 150 wat che that i plan to use on cold days and nights also there is A uth on the basking side should i use or no???? open to all suggestions as i am new and learning as much as i can from here !!
thank you yeah i have the che for nighttime if it is gonna be a cold night i have a on the spot digital thermometer that i got from petco works great the tank is a 55 gallon. i also just changed the uvb to a under the cabinet fixture and to a repti-sun 10.0
I would slide the repti-sun tube all the way to the hot side. That way he is getting the UVB while basking. He will get a gradient of UVB with plenty of shade on the cool side. :wink:
From the picture, it looks like he is a little guy. You could use a warmer temp on the hot side. I would try and shoot for around 105-108 if possible. You are using a infra red gun...right???
