[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1957007, member: 76248"] I have a herpstat2 and like it. I'd probably set up a nice long (hour +) ramping time for the leo and see how that goes. I have mine set up to dim up/down the basking light and the UVB light is just on a mechanical timer that clicks on/off after the ramping time is done (or just before in the evening). I would think that since the gecko is smaller than a dragon, then the smaller light would be OK. When I measure UVB lights for dragons, it has more to do with the length of an adult rather than the enclosure. Since an adult dragon can be up to 24'' long in some cases, the 24'' UVB light allows them to bask evenly. I would guess that the same goes for a gecko. Providing a wide enough basking area (heat and UVB both) to allow for even basking would be the key. I'm not sure if this is as important or not with geckos. I understand the lighting aspect, but am just kind of guessing at their needs based on what I know for dragons. You could probably use the 12'' or the 24'' and be OK. The 24'' might work well if you mount it at a diagnonal across the basking side with a 36'' enclosure. This is what the 24'' fixture looks like set diagnonally on my 36'' eclosure: [GALLERY=media, 31737][/GALLERY] [/QUOTE]
