It’s a T5. Yep, that’s what I did for my last UVB bulb, I set a 6 month reminder. The tank is 3ft long and just shy of 2 ft high. It is one of the biggest terrariums you can find at a local pet store, in Florida anyway. He also gets play time every day.
I can put it on top but was told the...

I thought that is a female thing? Do males go into brumation? I’d like him to have the correct lighting either way so that is great to know so I can correct it ASAP! I would love to know any other possible reasons for the way his behavior has slightly changed so I can catch any other possible...
I’m having a hard time finding a 24 in hood with t5 bulb. I found a 20” one. I’ll check my local pet store. I’m concerned there isn’t enough room to mount a fixture inside. I think it has to be a minimum of 12 inches from the basking spot right?
