Hey,
So I'm setting up my enclosure for the arrival of my beardie tomorrow. I've got a 4 foot reptile one enclosure. My question is about UV, I've currently got a Exo terra mini compact top with reptile one 10.0 bulb providing UV it's directly over the basking spot but it doesn't cover more than that third of the tank. Will this provide him with enough UV?
The cool end is also pretty dim so I thought I could get the fluorescent UV holder with the long fluorescent stick bulbs which will not only cover more but provide me with light for the whole enclosure? (That's the expensive option)
The cheap one is if the Exoterra will provide enough UV I can get just LEDs for cool end & light it with that.
Any advice on the matter would be much appreciated.
Thanks Guys
