So...
I got a T5 reptisun 48 inch light. It came with a 5.0 bulb. Several people have told me this is fine and others say go buy a 10.0. WHO IS RIGHT!?
So the variables here, the light is over a screen, the light has a reflector. Currently the basking spot is 15 inches from the light but this can be changed. The light to the bottom of the terrarium is 24 inches.
So options are
1) Stick to what I have
2) Stick to 5.0 but move the screen
3) Get a 10.0 and keep the screen
I know this is talked about a lot but what options will get me ideal UVB? I feel people have very strong feelings about the 10.0 bulb but with these new T5 bulbs all reptile breeders are telling me the 5.0 is enough now.
