I recently got the reptisun hood and it's a T 5 HO light with a 24 watt 5.0 bulb and was wondering if mounting it inside is okay ? My tank is glass and is a 50 or 55 Gallon one and the top is fine wire mesh

The 5.0 isn't really sufficient for bearded dragons. Can you return it and get the 10.0? When you do, mount it inside.

The *T5* 5.0 is just fine. But yes, it should be mounted inside instead of on top of mesh.

If you get a T5 10.0, however, it would be too powerful inside, so it should be on top.

You could also use a different type of mesh or no mesh and leave it mounted on top, like what I'm using:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
