Does my uvb bulb need a hood? I have a reptisun 10.0 t5 bulb in a hoodless fixture. I've put it inside the tank, and want to make sure my dragon is getting enough uvb. I've read mixed info on the matter, and wanted to get some opinions.

Yes-- a hood w/ a reflector-- it projects the rays downward which is better for him- at this point those rays are going all over that tank
