alright. you're ok anywhere from 12-15 inches if it's inside. I have a long grape vine that I have angled under mine so sir henry can choose how close he wants to be.

he'll avoid it and/or blackbeard. as long as it is possible for him to get out of it if he wants, he'll be ok

don't worry about humidity too much. it is normal for it to go up at night when the lights aren't on. i wouldn't add heat at night to take care of it. they want it cool and dark to sleep. heat emitters only need to be used if your house is getting below about 65° at night.

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?
