Sometime this week my T10 from Animal Plastics (4'x2'x15") is supposed to arrive, and one thing I'd really like to try is giving him a basking bulb and UVB. The enclosure will come with a RHP pre-installed for ambient temperature but I've been reading on how BPs actually like to bask more than what used to be supposed, and UVB I want to set up to him period because there's no reason not to.
I know what brand I'm looking for (Arcadia, everyone seems to swear by them) and what type of UVB bulb (a "shade dweller" T5 with 7% UVB) but I do have some questions.
Should the lights be on the same end as the RHP?
How much of the enclosure should the UVB fixture cover?
What kind of basking bulb should I use (was thinking halogen)? And how many watts?
How many hours per day should they be left on?
