[QUOTE="Emily2014, post: 1703560, member: 83712"] Hi. Just wondering if you have had your reptisun positioned in the cage since he was a baby? I like the idea and have done the same to mine but I read this "A well-recognised risk associated with a lighting system where the lamps are poorly fitted is of course eye inflammation and/or infection. All lamps MUST always be fitted to the roof of an enclosure and never hung half way down the back wall. Light from any source (and not just UV lamps) hitting the eye of an animal from the side can cause inflammation. If left untreated, this can in turn lead on to infection. So all lamps should be fitted well above the top of the vivarium occupants, with suitable reflectors being used. I would advise fitting lamps in the corner between the roof and the front plate above the door. This ensures that the light is above the lizard and is also out of an onlooker’s direct eye line. Lamps do look ugly, particularly when they loom above attractive naturalistic décor. You can then use your chosen decoration to generate a useable ‘solar gradient’ within the enclosure. So with the aid of a suitable reflector, a High Output T5 D3+ 12% lamp will be producing suitable levels of exposure at around 30-38cm (12-15in), as measured from the lamp to the lizard’s back at the highest point. I would advise that 20cm (8in) is too close." From Arcadia website and was worried. Have you had any problems? Is this refferring to what you are doing in the picture? Just wondering and worried. Thanks [/QUOTE]
