Hi everyone! My uro's new cage arrived yesterday! Very good. It's a really nice terrarium, and she really needed a bigger one. I got it from a friend who didin't want it anymore. Problem is, it's almost 3' high. I've read that the UVB lighting shouldn't be more than 2' above the animal. So what do I do? Do I get a higher wattage light? Do I somehow put the ramp inside the cage at a lower level? (And in that case, how on earth do I go about that?) Or do I simply arrange a baskingspot high enough for her to get close enough to the lighting at least there?



An other question: What kind of paint can I use for the background (which is already there and made of styrofoam but needs to be painted or something so that she doesn't dig it all out)? One that isn't toxic or harmful in some other way. Any suggestions? Oh, and is putty ok for the edges?



Cheers /Sara
