Mounting bulbs inside the tank

Status
Not open for further replies.
Okay, so please bear with me because I'm pretty dumb when it comes to "handy" things. Would somebody be willing to explain to me (in simple terms) the easiest and cheapest way to mount a UV and basking bulb inside a 40g breeder tank? I have a 24" UVB light, no basking bulb yet but I plan on picking that up later. It will most likely be high wattage, as the setup in question is for a Uromastyx and they like it quite hot. I probably won't bother even having a screen top, since my tank is one of those Critter Cages with the sliding lids and that seems like a pain in the butt to open with lights resting on on top (or in some way attached). I'm thinking about using a regular old reptile clamp lamp fixture for the basking bulb, but that still leaves the issue of the UVB. Any instructions or tips on how to do this would be much appreciated!!

I did read this post, but I'm still kind of confused (yes, I'm dumb :oops: ). I don't know if I want to make a hood like that or not. Is it necessary/extremely beneficial to do so? Or could I just affix the UVB light to the wall of the tank somehow?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
