UV light placement

kevinr Jun 17, 2004 10:01 PM

I am using a flourescent UV light. Should the basking light and the UV light be colocated over the basking spot or should the UV somewhere else?

Thanks.

Kevin

its best for the flourescent to go the length of the cage

the basking side is more important since hat is where they go expecting to get it. make sure it is as close as possible. more than 10-12" away does no good at all
