Is this lighting set up ok?

Ok here is my set up. My hubby attached the light just under the tank frame using S hooks.
The tube is the ReptiSun 10.0 and the dome light is the light for basking.
The distance from the tube to the beardie is 5 inches, 7 inches if I take out the stick and have her sit on the top of her house.
The temps up there is 110 degrees, cool side 90. Its warm in Michigan today!!

hello,

They usually say 6-8 inches for the UVB. The only concern i have is actually not for the dragon, it is for you. UVB can be harsh on the eyes and just from that photo i have been blinded. I would highly recommend a reflector or something to direct the uvb downwards and away from human eyes. Other than maybe lowering the stick so that they are 6-8 inches away and possibly getting the cooler side a little closer to 85, i dont see any serious issues.

The only thing I would say is to raise the UV tube up a bit. Like Todd said, it shouldn't be any closer to them than 6".

Other than that, looks great! Great setup! Congrats!

I will move the stick because I cannot raise the light. And I will look for a reflector.
Thank you everyone.
