As long as he can sit directly under it 12-15 inches

12 - 15 inches above the floor? it doesnt have to be directly above the basking spot right?

you want the distance 12-15 inches directly above his basking decor piece --- so place a piece of decor under the UVB w/ the distance posted

Yes that will work just fine

Sorry im kinda confused, the uvb doesnt have to be directly above his basking decor where the heat lamp is but place another decor directly under the uvb with the distance of 12 - 15 inches?

If you cant get them together the basking lamp and the UVB then yes if they are together so hes getting both at the same time your good -- you just dont want the distance for the UVB greater than 15 inches - it will do no good for the dragon

It was a pain putting up the uvb, spent the whole day with it. I hope this is good. The uvb is about 13 inches directly above the log on the left side. Is there anything i have to change or is it good?
