Hey all,
I'm just trying to get the right amount of UVB to a trio of Coastal Ringtailed Geckos I recently purchased, and I'm a bit concerned that my current setup isn't getting the right amount of UVB to them. I currently have two 25w 5.0 UVB compact fluoros in a hood on top of the terrarium, but the light is having to penetrate steel mesh on the top, and the terrarium is 60cm tall. I'm not sure what the penetration would be, even with the reflectors, so I'm wondering if this is enough for them?
If not, does anyone have any guides or tips as to how I might mount a fluoro inside the tank? It does have a cord port on the side, but I can't think of the best way to mount the thing.
Cheers,
Seb
