its 14'' above my rhino at the moment , but i only get around 95 deg . I do have another basking area that's 115-120 deg but its under a halogen bulb with no UVB . should i get another halogen bulb bulb and put it next to the Mega ray and bring the temps up ? On the box it says to have the bulb around 12'' /- to get 150-200 MW of UVB. I guy on another forum tested his and he got around 300 MW of UVB at 12 "



so not sure how high it should be .?? go buy what's on the box or ?? . I am going to get a solar meter soon so i can test my own bulbs .



Here is what i have in my 3'x 8' cage , basking area #1 100 watt Mega-ray 14 ''above , basking area # 2 ( middle of cage ) i have 100 watt halogen bulb, i also have two 48'' T8 bulbs down the middle , one is a 10.0 zoo-med the other is a 5000k daylight bulb for fill in . I have extra of each . I also have a 75 watt c.h.e. on the far right side of the cage over a water bowl . The rest of the cage is 75-80 deg and i keep it at around 50-60 % humidity during the day and 70 at night .



thanks .
