I am going to build a 4x2x2 enclosure for my baby. And I was wondering what length of a flourescent light do I need to have. I heard that it needs to be the length of the enclosure which would be 48" long or will 36" long be fine?

Thanks ...

Thanks - also if I have the Zoo Med Repti-Sun 10/0 UVB bulb, do I need a regular flourescent bulb to go beside it, along with a basking light?

You shouldnt need another tube bulb, just the Reptisun and a basking light should be fine, unless it is too cool or dark in any area, then you may have to add more light.

Thanks a bunch ... I currently have my baby in a 20gallon long tank, but I have plans to build her a 4x2x2 and she has a 18" Zoo Med Repti-Sun 10.0 UVB light and I use a 50W Halogen flood light from Wal-Mart for basking and that keeps her basking spot between 100-110 degrees. So I am thinking when I build the bigger viv, to get another 18" so that the UVB runs the length of the enclosure, from my research, I believe that is what I should do.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
