[QUOTE="Subion, post: 2007008, member: 114709"] I was using a reptisun 10.0 t5 with the reflector when she wanted to hide in her hut. I believe it was one of the two bulbs Tracie told me to switch to back in June because the one that originally came with the fixture is not a good one. I still only use the reptisun 10.0. When I took the reflector out she would stay under the light more but there would be days where she just would go to a corner where the uvb wouldn’t reach much if at all and lay there until I moved it over her some then she would move out of the way again. The problem is she constantly wants to sit on top her hide which is a hamster igloo with a small throw wrapped around it. With the calcium issues and surgery I’ve been trying to make it softer on her so she doesn’t hurt herself. Even if I move her lights more to the other side of the tank and have a comfortable blanket under it she goes back to the igloo side and just sits in the cold side all day. Most I can get her light up is about 6-8 inches above her head being raised. According to solar meter where it’s at she gets around a 2-5 range without reflector where she chooses to sit under it. I was told optimal is 4-6. From my vet. I probably could come up with a way to raise the lid some to give more distance. My only worry is we live in an area where stink bugs and lady bugs get bad and a lot do find their way into the house so I’m worried she’d get one. They did do an X-ray when they checked for fractures. They showed me in clinic but I don’t know what I was looking for. They didn't mention anything about the calcium from the X-rays only the blood work a few days before where they said it was where they wanted it to be. [/QUOTE]
