hey guys, i have been using an arcadia t5 12% but i had it mounted on top of my screen about 12 inches from his basking spot and his basking spot was about 12 inches. i recently bought 3m hooks to attach his uvb inside his cage because i wanted to make sure he was getting the max amount of uvb he could and my basking spot according to my digital thermometer (zoomed, it was the one the guy gave me when i adopted him) was running at 110f give or take at 12 inches. now my uvb is about 9 inches from his basking spot and his basking spot has moved down further. now it's sitting at around 95f - 100f. i just want to make sure my set up is alright and he isn't too close to the uvb. the uvb is kind of low because the 3m hooks hold 3lbs of weight which i wanted to make sure it would hold. if he is too close, i will move it back on top of the screen. there is also no reflector on the uvb. he is 4 years old.
