Tube or coil light

[Steve&May]

Hello guys!
I have recently bought a tube lamp instead of a coil. But I am not sure how to arrange it in the enclosure. As I am in Ukraine right now, I may not have needed materials. Anyway, I would like to ask you to send me some photos of the lams in your terrariums. Thank you in advance

Are you still using the same enclosure you posted here? What does the tube fixture look like?

If you don't have a meter, the best you can do is try to go off of the distances recommended by manufacturer. And watch for changes (hiding from lights, eyes closed/swollen, etc) to make sure it's not harming him.

I think this is your tube http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/reptile_uvb150-linear.php

Yes, that's my tube. There is written the distance 10cm. Isn't it too low?

You want a Ferguson Zone of 3, it looks like thats 30-40cm for most of them.
