how am I doing

[Beman]

Basking bulb, 60 watt, Dual t5ho 22" with 5.0 uvb, and 6500k. That will be my set up as of next Monday. It will leave me with an extra t5ho 22" with the old uvb bulb. I am just wondering if I can use that single fixture for extra light, not uvb.

Ok lol how old is the bulb in the 22 inch? Because you can do two things. It is really best for the adult veiled to get a 10.0 uvb. So you can continue to use the 22 in uvb if it is no older then 6 months and is a 5.0 bulb. If it is older then you will replace it with another 5.0 bulb. Or you can just get a daylight bulb for the old fixture for extra light. But you would need to get a 10.0 UVB bulb for the new fixture to replace the 5.0. LOL does that make sense? The new fixture with uvb you will want to run across the middle of the enclosure to disperse the light evenly.

Your welcome. I run a quad system and I love the extra light. My plants and Beman do too

Answering all the questions like that makes is super confusing to read.

We prefer it answered that way.

Sorry to steal the spotlight on your post, but I'm confused, I JUST posted asking if I should switch to a 10.0 bulb as I got my panther the XL Reptibreeze and everyone that replied made it seem like a big NO NO. My thought process was the same as I'm reading here...the 5.0 won't penetrate as far down as a 10.0. Maybe because he's a Panther vs Veiled? See my post here. So what's the answer? 5.0 or 10.0?

It's not a big no no if you have lots of foliage in a large enclosure. With most of the leaves blocking out the UVB light.

Did you see my post? I posted a pic of my enclosure. I feel like the foliage is similar to OP's, but maybe I'm missing something.

The OP stated that there is more foliage and horizontal branches since taking that picture.

So based on my post, you wouldn't suggest going to 10.0 for my enclosure?

Im not remembering if I saw your post. Mind dropping a link or posting a pic of your enclosure quick?

Haha I just messaged you after finding your post. I think you're just fine with a 5.0 for your Panther

I remember that post, we told you to stay at 5.0 for two reasons:

1- light-medium density foliage
2- Main reason- you have a panther! This OP has a veild who generally have a higher UVB requirement!

Thanks for clearing it up, I figured the species had to do with it too but I was just clarifying. Making sure I'm doing everything I can correctly right now.

Your on the right track! Keep asking questions, it’s the keepers that don’t ask questions who don’t last too long in this hobby...

I have quite a few branches hidden in the vines and plants. Still think I need more? Thanks for the reply.

 

[Char333p]

“Cootos” cracked me up! I literally snorted. I’m sorry... I’m easily amused.

made me laugh too

Totally up to you hun. I am all about multiple perches though and I am in love with what you can do with the exo terra vines. This is how I put in vines and what I mean by multiple perches. I have my highest area but then stagger others so he can choose how close he wants to be or if he wants to get cooler. Also as they get older and have more weight to them they tend to like to be horizontal more then vertical.
