The dual dome is a heat lamp and ceramic heat emitter. I bought a temperature switch that I’m testing right now to make sure it works right before I leave it on
The dual dome is a heat lamp and ceramic heat emitter. I bought a temperature switch that I’m testing right now to make sure it works right before I leave it onHi we rescue and rehome please read my lengthy post below that I posted to you. Also for UVB, u need to order the Reptisun 10.0 T5 the length u order should cover 70 percent of the tank. This is the best & most recommended UVB and bulb & all UVbs need replacing every 6Mnths also yes u do need the ceramic heat emitter for him only at night when sleeping to keep the temp above 80 after he turns 8mnths of age u can use it for him only in the winter time of the temp drops below 70 degrees when sleeping. As they get older there body temperature needs to cool down at nite but as babies they need to remain semi warm at nite. Here’s a pic of the UVB to order…
Yes, the one that you sent. And it’s a fine mesh. The screen is pushed up to the UVB and there is no obstruction between the face of the bulb and the enclosureIs this a T 5 and is it on top of your screen? If so what type of screen? Fine mesh like a screen door or a wide holed type?
Ok so you want the uvb directly over the basking decor approx 12-15 inches since it's openYes, the one that you sent. And it’s a fine mesh. The screen is pushed up to the UVB and there is no obstruction between the face of the bulb and the enclosure
Okay, it’s only a 20 gallon. So if I close the fine mesh screen and put that as a barrier between the light and the basking decor would that be okay?Ok so you want the uvb directly over the basking decor approx 12-15 inches since it's open
Use the 5.0 that came w/ the fixture for now-- have the distance 6-8 inches directly above the basking decorOkay, it’s only a 20 gallon. So if I close the fine mesh screen and put that as a barrier between the light and the basking decor would that be okay?
Make sure there is NO screen blocking the uvb bulbUse the 5.0 that came w/ the fixture for now-- have the distance 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor
Please order the Reptisun 10.0 T5 for UVB it’s a long tubular light the length I order should cover 70percent of the tank and be placed starting at the hot side and 12 inches minimum away if the UVb is placed inside the tank if it’s above then 7inches away is ok. Rmwmebr all uvbs need replacing every 6Mnths and for heat get the zoomed clear basking heat lamp. Never ever used colored or coiled bulbs and at night allGot the light. Set it on top like you said. And his highest point is still about 7 inches from his basking spot.
