I be posted a thread a couple of weeks ago regarding the UV lighting in my Indian Star Tortoise’s tank. I had a Reptisun T8 and replaced it with the T5 so more of the UV would be more beneficial. I used my SolarmeterR to check the Ferguson Zone. The recommended zone my my Star ⭐️ Squirt is 3. I have to hold the meter 4-5 inches from the bulb for it to register 3 on the meter. The bulb is in reflective housing. I would have to find a basking platform super high and then if he went on it he would fall off!!!
To raise the substrate would not work because 6” up the length of the tank is ventilation openings. I have the entire tank covered in foil to hold in heat(constant 90 degrees) and humidity (70-85%) when it’s at 70% I spray the substrate which is coconut fiber.
Advice needed please
