Yes fine mesh like a screen door will block approx 30% of the UVB rays --- it is recommended that the UVB go into the tank directly above the basking decor piece 12-15 inches --Sorry I’ve been out for a bit, his light that I got him blew out! I am getting a new one but I was look online for them and I found a redit story that the mesh blocks 40% of the uv is this true I will send pictures of my lizard soon to.
Not sure about that -- can you post a pic of the gums and scabs- I will have CooperDragon take a look at itAlso when I was watering him just like 5 minutes ago I noticed that he had like kinda white drool in his mouth is that bad or normal? I’ve heated it can be an infection but he seems fine and his gum scabs have been doing better.
Can you open his mouth so we can see the gums-- get a pic of his mouth open please --
From what I can see his gums look good --- where are the scabs you were talking about
I will flag CooperDragonOne of them fell off but the previous pictures is what I meant.
