Well ive heard that the 8.0 is more ideal for desert species and the 5.0 is optimal for tropical species. They have different levels of UVA and UVB. Also about the cage, the 38 gallon will be too small for him/her when its an adult, a good size reptarium is probably the 100 gallon. Well good luck with your veiled.
