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

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
