Hello,
How is your boy doing tonight?
If you are using the regular T8 Reptisun 10 tube then it would be much more effective if you
have it placed underneath the screen for better UVB. Once you upgrade to the T5, then you
could place it on top of the screen. I would place the tube bulb more towards one end of the
tank centered above the basking area, alongside of the basking light. This helps to create a
UVB + Heat in one location so that they have an area on the other end of the tank where they
can retreat out of heat & UVB.
Sometimes it takes awhile for them to show any health problems. They are usually becoming
pretty ill by the time they start showing symptoms.
Let us know how Tarzan is doing.
