I have a question, I want to make a bigger enclosure for my baby Sulcata, it has been only 1 week with me in a 10 gallon enclosure, the bigger one I want to make is (36"x20") but I don't know the ideal height to put a Reptisun UVB LIGHT T5 HO 10.0.22" 24w. Can someone tell me the ideal height? The minimum height?


Thanks guys

For a sulcata i would build something like 3x6 so that it would last a while. They grow super fast in the right conditions. Also you will want it totally enclosed to hold in heat and humidity. As far as height goes.. i like mine at least 24 inches hight so you can hang ur lights inside and factor in 4 inches of substrate. Have you read Toms care sheet? Its a must read. Here it is

The correct thing to do would have been getting everything correct before bringing ur baby home.
