There are no holes on top. They’re blocked by plastic.Do not take the reflector off- it strengthens the uvb which is good and what you want--- get it as close to the basking bulb as you can - you don't want the fixture on the wall- it needs to be placed off the wall if putting in the back
Did we go over the screen on the tank?There are no holes on top. They’re blocked by plastic.
No. I want to go under. Here’s pic of the t5.Did we go over the screen on the tank?
But at first I did.No. I want to go under. Here’s pic of the t5.
Ok so you can get some picture wire hanger from a craft store and use that -- wrap around the fixture -- its bendable - people also use long plastic zip ties -- I recommend the picture wire --But at first I did.
Do I put it around the ends? Think this could work. Especially since I have small holes.Ok so you can get some picture wire hanger from a craft store and use that -- wrap around the fixture -- its bendable - people also use long plastic zip ties -- I recommend the picture wire --
I would put it away from the ends you dont want the wire slipping off the end and landing in the tankDo I put it around the ends? Think this could work. Especially since I have small holes.
She’s only about 8” from it though.Ok so you can get some picture wire hanger from a craft store and use that -- wrap around the fixture -- its bendable - people also use long plastic zip ties -- I recommend the picture wire --
The bottom log is 8"? She should be fine she will move if its too strong -- watch her behavior - what is it to the floor of the tank ?She’s only about 8” from it though.
The fact she's not directly under the bulb makes her being only 8 inches away, not much of a problem.She’s only about 8” from it though.
Shes more than likely stretching her beard which is normal -- and yes the UVB will stimulate the appetite also her colors will be more vividWell, I put the uvb up later in the day.
This morning I moved the wood around a bit and the uvb closer. It was too close to the darker side.
Once I got her up and moving she eventually moved to the top. Started flaring out - probably a little distressed?
But I bit off a bit of a blueberry and rubbed it on her nose. She kept licking it. The people said she ate all different things. Not sure if they were truthful. I put in with greens. Came down a few minutes later, ate a few greens but not that. Then I gave her another and she ate it. So there’s hope! Maybe due to the uvb stimulating hunger? Thanks for all the lighting help!
And now she’s flaring again on top.
This is the hygrometer I am using Exo Terra Digital Hygrometer | Dubia.com you can find one similar to this - it needs to go on your back wall center of the tank -- where is she sitting under the UVB? Off to the side directly under it ? Does she have options of distance?She’s about 6” diagonally from the uvb now on her hotspot. Maybe I need to find another lower basking spot? She ate a few bugs and tolerated me hand feeding her collard greens.
Next question … hopefully the last. What is a good hydrometer?
No clue on that. Never used one before or any type of humidity.
