Hey all,
I have recently been thinking of reducing the number of electrical plugs in my herp setup. I am currently running two cords per enclosure both UVB and heat for my Strophurus cliliaris and S. spinigerus setups.
My question is, can I replace the UVB compacts (only the exoterra UVB100's) with something like an Exoterra sunray (a small one like a 35W) thereby eliminating the extra heat source or will the extra UV output of the Sunray be too great? I could put the bulb at a greater distance, i.e. 20inches to get a comparable UVB output, however the UVA output in this case would be more than doubled.
Any experience or suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
J
