[QUOTE="Subion, post: 2001954, member: 114709"] recenly I have got my bearded a new setup and not sure if the uvb light is right for it. I’m not to familiar with uvb to begin with so sorry if I missed something obvious. I switched to a uvb tube light instead of just a bulb back in June because I heard they were better. I also switched her old setup to a larger enclosure that advertises full uv penetration through the top of the lid within last 2 weeks. I got a solar meter to check it and the readings are horrible if I’m doing it right. I have to hold it to the top of her cage to get a reading of around 7-9+ or so depending where I measure it touching the grating and at the very bottom it reads around .5 or less. We went to try and mount to see if that would help but unfortunately there is a bar in the way at the center where we can’t mount it flat and with it being a long light I was afraid hanging down would give to much light coverage. It does have a reflector in it currently that can be removed. I’ll add some pics for reference. One shows the setup, 2 shows the meter at different places and 2 show the light and one for the terraium I have now. I can post links for them if needed. Could it be a bad bulb and another would help? Or any advice? Right now when she’s in her terrarium she like to lay either in the shade or on her log so she’s not getting much of the uv from what I can tell and that’s why I’m worried. [/QUOTE]
