Hi, I'm hoping to purchase a bts soon. I have a wooden enclosure thats about the equivalent of a 75 gallon tank. My question is what's the proper UVB and UVA wattage for a tank this size? Also, is the broad spectrum basking bulb the same as full spectrum lighting? I want to do everything right.
Thanks,
Sarah

Yeah, but the lid is made of metal mesh screen. Will That be O.K.?

Blueys should be able to see out of their cages.

Thanks for the advice, I also have a 55 gallon tank I was considering using, now I'll use that instead. But I still have a few questions about UV lighting. What do they need, UVB, UVA, or UV lighting. And I read regular exposure to natural sunlight would work to. And if so for how long daily? Thanks again for the advice.
