Hello,

I recently added a new climbing piece of wood to my 120 gallon vivarium. I have a 10.0 T5 HO UVB inside the tank. It is about 13 inches above the basking spot and about 9 inches above the wood. When the dragon is on the wood she is about 7 - 8 inches from the UVB. Are these safe distances?

Thank you.

If she has an option of distance shes going to choose where is most comfortable for her

Agreed. Just provide a small gradient or slope and some shaded part in the tank and she will self regulate

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?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
