Hi guys! Here are some pics of Johnnys new enclosure and husbandry. Looking for some pointers.

The enclosure is 6’x3’x32” (she’ll be free roam when Im home) The basking is between 116-120*F. The ambient according to the thermometer is 80* with a humidity of 80. The cool side is 70* with 85% humidity. The bulbs are 2 90W halogen floods. The UVB will be a 48” Reptisun 10.0 T5 (it will be here tomorrow) Do you think that will bump up the heat a bit? Substrate is a 1.1.1 ratio of organic top soil, sphagnum peat moss and play sand. Basking platform is slate.

Right now she seems to be enjoying the basking spot.

All looks and sounds great ..... No the 48" Reptisun is purely UVB as far as I aware

Those bulbs I wouldn't use to be honest. I would suggest you get a megaray 160w bulb which are uvb uva and heat
I have never had any luck w/ the megarays :/ I've got the heat squared away which is good. Just waiting for bulbs to be sent that don't arrive shattered.

I ordered from Josh's frogs cheap and free shipping. Megaray are the best bulb I've tried gives off more heat and best uv! Plus has larger distance you can do. The old bulb I used which were exo terra sun glows suck compared to megaray
