So ive got both a heat lamp for my little YBS's and a UVA/UVB ReptoSun 5.0, but i dont have the UV light directly over their basking spot like i do the heat light. It is slightly to the side a bit, it still over part of the basking area,but not the majority. I will attach a drawing(made on paint so dont laugh, i spent way too much time on the turtle....)







my questions is whether not the little guys are getting the correct amount of UV exposure even though its not sitting directly over the basking spot? Let me know, if not any suggestions welcome. Thanks a lot, dave.
