Too Much UVB?

[alrha]

How can one know if a BD is receiving too much UVB?

Well what wattage UV are you using?

Cage will be 52"Lx21"Wx24.5"H
I am installing a fixture inside for a double 48" tube.
Thinking of doing both as Reptisun10.0, or swapping one out for a non-UVB bulb.
Is there a way to know if he is getting too much with both UVB bulbs in? or will he know to regulate it himself?

Those UVB's are very good bulbs and using 2 would actually be too much. As long as one bulb is 6 to 8 inches from the basking spot, that is all you will need.

got it. guess i can just use a general full spectrum bulb in the second slot.
does it matter which bulb is placed in front of the other?
