What light setup would you recommend for an enclosure about 6ft by 3ft by 3ft ? Are UV heat or powersun any good, or should i just use the normal desert uv lights w/incandescent?
thank you
Peace

For large cages like that I would go with the mercury vapors, and just regular fluorescents for added light the length of the cage. You want a nice bright strong light for a 3 foot high cage. Just what I find works the best for me. With the fluorescnt uvb the dragons have to be very close to it to get the uvb. the mvb through the uvb a bit farther.

Yes go with the mercury vapors(Powersun, ActiveUV). They are much stronger and reach farther. A regular Reptisun will only reach 10in max compared to 6 feet for the vapors.
