I just switched to Reptisun T5Ho10.0 with hood that will sit on top of screen top. Two questions. 1. How close to the bulb can my bearded be? 2. Do I need to use other UVB light in addition to basking light?
Thanks

I'm not positive but I believe your dragon should be able to get 6" away from the bulb. I don't understand your other question..You need a basking bulb for heat and that should overlap a bit with the Reptisun T5 HO UVB light.. They need the 2 bulbs for proper digestion and absorption and conversion of nutrients..

I meant is the one reptisun enough plus the basking light. Before I had a T Rex bulb for UVB in a deep dome. I was making sure that I don't continue to use it to. Thanks
