Hey I'm setting up a baby sulcata enclosure (closed top for humidity)
I just need help with the basking spot

I have a t5 uvb tube now I just need a basking bulb but was wondering what's best?
Spot light or flood light
Or could I heat with a heat panel only but would this get hot enough for basking?

All help is greatly appreciated thank u very much in advance

Greetings cait :)

Some people have had success with using only a radiant heat panel with no basking spot, but I would use a flood light. Spot lights are too desiccating on their shells.
