Hi folks,
Some of you may have seen my thread on the Casa Del Bob renovations.
I acquired him in a glass tank with a 2ft uv fitting inside the viv attached to a roof door making it awkward to remove.
When I built the insulating base and walls, I moved the light fitting to the outside of the viv and increased it to a 4ft fitting, building it into the new back. It has a reptile tube in the fitting with the diffuser in place for aesthetic appeal.
Now I'm aware that certain uv will not penetrate the glass. Question is, do I need to mount the fitting inside the viv, or does he not require any uv light? (as suggested in another thread).
It has probably been asked over and over but due to conflicting posts I though I'd ask as my set up is different to most.
Cheers
Vic
