I am currently purchasing all the things needed for a new enclosure for my beardie that will be 8ft long 2ft wide.
I purchased a 4ft and a 2ft reptisun HO t5 10.0 bulb already so it will cover about 6ft out of the 8ft. These bulbs say 54watts on them. I never paid attention to the uvb wattage before. I just accidentally noticed that the fixture I bought says it is compatible with this bulb but the fixture says 25 watts…. ? ? umm… what??? I have read some stuff online, but it all just confused me more…
-there will be a mesh screen between. The beardie and the lights.
- highest basking spot = 12”
- lights will be about 12-18” from the basking spot.
- there will be 2ft of height inside the tank, with a light compartment on top. The mesh screen will separate the two areas.
Does anyone know what the proper UVB wattage should be for this size enclosure??? And if it higher then what I have, where would I find it? Maybe a link to the fixture n bulb needed?
Thank you!
