what watt AV-A bulb should i have??

[Modkrew]

my all screen cage is 16x16x29 - i have a 5.0 UVB florecent and i have a 100 watt ZO0-MED daylight (blue)


i am currently housing 2 VEILDS in this cage they are juivinil's.


i will seperate them soon and get 2 bigger tanks but a 100 watt shouldnt be TOO MUCH


or ... is it???


they seem to be hanging out about 5-7 inches away from the bulb, so as of now it seems to be right...


any one have suggestions??


thanks!

A 75 watt bulb should do fine. You can use a regular incadescent bulb. They are are your standard bulbs you would use for the house. They are a lot cheaper.

incandescent lamps give off UVA. the reptile lamps at pet stores are nothing special, except the packaging. I would buy a flood lamp if I were you. Not the heavy outdoor type.. just a normal flood for indoor use. 60w should be good.

Place the UVB and flood light right next to each other with a basking perch about 6-8" below the two lamps so that the cham can bask in the light of both lamps.
