    Is this pyramiding?

    Thank you for your inputs. I’m changing the enclosure today but below is more or less how the lights are set-up. From the leftmost side: CHE, tube UVB, MVB.

    Enclosure too hot?

    Hi! I’m Mari, from the Philippines. My 3-month old redfoot will be arriving in a few days and I’ve been fixing his enclosure (currently at 4ft x 2ft). The ambient temperature in the enclosure, without any lights or heaters, ranges from 89-92F (this is our normal room temp here in the country)...
