I have a Reptisun 10.0 UVB and ZooMed Heat Bulb with a Dome fixture. What distance from the basking platform do they need to be? I currently have the UVB inside the terrarium (4x2x2 Dubia enclosure) and it’s about 10-11 inches away from basking platform. Heat lamp is on top of mesh hood. I’m currently getting about 98-102 temperature via a temp gun

Your overlap looks good 👍 For a young dragon a little more heat might be good. I wouldn't rearrange I'd just set something else (that sits safely) on top of the platform you already have. Like that your beardie can have multiple degrees he can choose from.

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
