Looking at buying a 120x60x60cm wooden Reptile One viv, but saw one in store and having doubts. It's mesh looks really thick, does UVB or heat penetrate well through it? I saw it had two holes on top for light fixtures, but I'm using an Arcadia UVB tube fixture and either a CHE or Intense Basking Spot for heating, and idk how I would fit both into two holes. I don't want to use a UVB compact bulb on one side, and a heating on the other, as I want one side to be heat AND light, and the other to be cool AND dark.
What would you recommend for heating and lighting for a viv like this? Is it fine to have either heating or UVB on top of the thick mesh? Should I just go with a MVB? This is all for an adult Western Blue Tongue.
I would prefer not to use a heat mat for this viv, as I like having a basking light for blue tongues, and I would rather 'thermostatically control' a bulb via distance from basking site, than actually buying a thermostat for a heat mat.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
