We are very soon to be inheriting a 7yo horsfield, and I want to make sure his heating/lighting is right as I'm building his table and buying everything from scratch.
We have space for a 5'6x3' table with space above to hang lighting, although we have a cat so will be putting a mesh covered 'lid' to our table with the lighting above it.

We are in the UK, and he will be able to be outside for some of the summer, but the rest of the time inside with the room at 20-21 degrees C.

I was thinking an Arcadia T5 Pro 12% for the UV, but I'm not sure what else we need to provide with regards to heat/lighting. Does he need a separate lamp or heating coil? I understand he will need some shade from the lighting.

Will the mesh above change the height we would have to hang the T5 lamp?

Thanks
