Lightning question

CokeOfMan Jan 03, 2005 10:18 AM

I posted earlier about the size of my terrarium. 4.5Lx2.6Dx4.5H. Anyway, if I buy Zoomed Reptisun 5.0(With a reach of about 12" right?) will the anoles go up to the light or should I put another one in a lower place?

Thanks In Advance

Put the UVA/UVB fixture on top of the screen cover (glass and plexiglass will filter out 90% of the UV radiation). Just make sure that there is a branch or something they can use for a basking area directly under the fixture and within 12" of it. The Anoles will bask under it from time to time and get the UV radiation that they need for calcium synthesis.
