So newbie here. I have not gotten a dragon yet, but wanted to make sure the enclosure is set up properly before doing so. One thing that I have been confused about was the placement of the UVB lamp.
My enclosure is a 75G tank, with a screen top. I want to place the lamp on the screen top, which I know filters out quite a bit of UVB. So I was thinking of putting a 24" (22") ReptiSun T5 HO bulb with the ReptiSun HO hood (yeah, I know its expensive) over the basking area, but not over the cool side. I have seen conflicting accounts of this. Some say the bulb should span the length of the tank, and some say the cool area should be free of any UVB light. Is what I have planned acceptable for this setup?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
