Distance between tort and uvb lamp?

[PalestTortie]

Incandescent flood lamp for the basking zone (like Arcadia Solar Basking Floodlight), without a thermostat. And a ceramic heat emitter on on/off thermostat for ambient heat (if your dimming thermostat works with ceramic heat emitters - great).

Does the solar thing work without a stat without overheating...? That doesn't seem right..

Ambient heat is fine in my room thanks to my lizards.

My floodlight lamp only heats where there is light (I put the tort there to warm up), and it comes off (when temp is reached) and on (when it heats again to set temp). It doesn't seem ideal to me personally.

Maybe you can use something like this? https://www.hardwareandtools.com/hi...brass-plated-1-1-4-inch-2-pack-kdaa-7644.html

I have two other heavy vivs stacked on, and for this I'd still need to take them off and drill holes.

Hm, and these two just arrived. Perfect for feeding, but for water they're too shallow.
