There is about 100 different light combinations descibed on the site. Please help me with EXACTLY (Brand, watts, UVB XWZ ABC 123) what I need. Dave is shipping my Blue today, enclosure is done and I just need to buy the heat and lights.
Enclosure Description:
Why I built what I did.....I have 2 Beardies that are currently in a tank that I think they will grow out of in about 6 to 12 months. My Blue is coming and is about 16 to 20" I think. So I decided to build an enclosure that I will put the Blue in for the next 6 to 12 months, then build him a new- bigger one and use this one for the Beardies long term.
It is 5 ft long, 2'4 deep, and the back half of the enclosure is 16" and the front half is 24" tall. Sorry if it sounds confusing but I built in the back of the enclosure a step that raises up 8" and is about 10" wide along the whole back wall. Sort of a raised up basking ledge that is tile and the bottom lower level will have substrate. I also built an upper shelf along the back wall that is 8" from the ceiling. So there is a 24" lower level along the front that will have 4 to 6" of substrate, a slighty higher level that is tile 16" from the ceiling and runs the entire length of the back wall, and a shelf 8" from the ceiling thats in a corner and doesnt run the entire length of the back wall but is only about 16" long.
What do I need for light, heat, etc.?
