Howdy fellow tegu enthusiast. I wanted to ask for your guy’s opinions on the 160 watt powersun bulb for heating and UVB. I was wondering if this was enough UVB in the enclosure. I figured that since in the wild they get UVB when they are basking so in theory he only needs UVB above his basking spot. I have the powersun about 13 inches away from his basking spot. This is what the website said to do. Lmk if that’s too close or far, supported by two 100 watt basking bulbs to make the hot spot 115-125 gradient. The tank is about 7 feet by 4 feet.

It's plenty of UVB, but it's an awful big bulb! It will be hard to maintain the correct temperature with such a high wattage bulb.
Do u think it being 13 inches away is too close? And the other heat bulbs by it keep it a steady 110-125. Usually 115-120 and never over 120
