Wondering the same.
And hole in the screen *appears * to be where the bulb is. I could be wrong, but if she escapes she will likely get burned too.

What type of screening is it that you have? Is it fiberglass? I don’t recall the specifics, but some types of screening aren’t well penetrated by uvb.

not exactly sure its pet proof screening
I would switch that top panel to aluminum window screen to ensure that the uvb is passing through it. @MissSkittles is absolutely correct on yours possibly causing an issue. Without a solarmeter there is no way to know exacts but I do know that the pet proof screening is typically thicker...
With a T5 and a 6% you want 9 inches to basking right below the bulb.
Should be able to get a small roll for about $8 at the hardware store. Then your dripper will work by setting it directly on the top or if your running a hose line you can just have a tiny hole.
