Alright thank you.
New UBV hood and bulb acquired now tho! I got it yesterday so we'll see how she does with it today.
What did you get brand and bulb -- and the screen on the tank will determine placement and distance for it

I ended up purchasing the zoo med bulb that u recommended. With the 10.0 bulb.
The tank is 24in tall.
Ok so where is the UVB? How has the behavior been ? And what is going on w/ the eyes?

Everything is going a lot better thanks to you!!
She started shedding like normal the day after I installed the UVB. I had cleaned her eyes with the solution and they were both open within a few days, and she's been more active. I can tell she's still dealing with relocation stress and getting used to her tank, but she recently started to actually use her hides occasionally which is pretty encouraging.

Where did you place the UVB? Inside the tank or top of screen ?

Ok so for a fine mesh screen like a screen door it needs to be inside the tank -- directly above the basking decor 12-15 inches --- hang w/ picture wire hangers I recommend those or fishing line or long plastic zip ties or 3 M velcro fasteners -
