What's the minimum distance between basking bulbs and the basking rocks? Right now I have about 11 to 14 inches between the bulb and the rocks or the ground.



I have 4 aquaflames on thier way, and so I better get this terrarium working!



I still need to get the temperature right, get a background and some hiding spots, and some smaller rocks to add to these big ones.



I think I need to line the background and perhaps the bottom with insulation to reduce heat loss. The tank is in the basement which is cold. I'm also going to have to cover a good percentage of the screen top so the heat doesn't fly right out.
