    So… Here’s Cuarzo!

    Great! I will do that right away and make sure that Cuarzo gets enough natural sunlight every week. And I will totally make sure to build an enclosure with that exact height so it fits. You have been so helpful, I can’t thank you enough!

    So… Here’s Cuarzo!

    The enclosure is 4x6 foot aprox. & the height 1.15 ft. I’m planning to expand it in spring, so it would be good to buy one that will fit that size. I don’t yet have the exact final measures as I’m still choosing. I already have a ceramic heater, so I will be using it immediately to keep the...

    Exactly! I cut off the top of the enclosure to make room for the light fixture, so the bulbs per se are inside. I will buy and install the Arcadia T5. Thanks :D

My main concern is keeping the closed chamber to control the temp & humidity, as the gap for this type of lamp is bigger.

    So… Here’s Cuarzo!

    Thanks! Cuarzo lives in an indoor closed chamber (high humidity levels with UVA+UVB)! Two or three times per week, I take Cuarzo outside for a couple of hours. I bought a garden grow table so he/she can soak some direct sun light. I also keep a humid hide there, but usually Cuarzo prefers to...
