Hi guys,

I just got a brand new terrarium for my chameleon and I am a little bit disappointed to find out that it has an installation for an UVB fluorescent tube which is 34cm (around 13.4 inches) long. I am measuring it completely including the sockets, its a T8 type. I have been searching everywhere but it seems the smallest available is ExoTerra Repti Glo, which is 38cm. I hate the idea that I would have to mess up the brand new terrarium, drill holes and add additional cables to replace it with another solution. Dont you know of any such short UVB tubes that I could get hold of? Are such short tubes even in production? Thanks a lot,

Adam
 
Thats what I was afraid of:( Theres a bit of extra space, so maybe the 15 inch tube would fit in, bit it would mean messing the whole thing up, drilling new holes etc, its a tall glass terrarium and to be frank I am a little scared to do any major changes, I was hoping I could solve it more elegantly. Eh, its never easy:) Thanks a lot.
