Hi All,
I have just purchased a new tank for my High Yellow Diamond Python. Its a Reptile One 1200 x 600 x 1200 and I was just looking for your advise on what UVB and Heating I should add. I've been told 5 different things from 5 different reptile shops so I wanted to ask here. There is mesh at the top of the tank so some have said to use reflectors on top of the mesh while others are saying put a globe in the tank with a cage around it. Same with the UVB. Some are saying 10.0 on top of the mesh, others are saying 5.0 and it needs to be inside the tank. I personally was looking for T5 tube light as I think it will also give much more even light throughout the tank but some reptile shops are saying a small compact. He has a compact now, I just cant see it lighting up or being effective UVB in a much larger tank. Any advise guys will be gratefully appreciated Thanks heaps! Looking forward to your responses.
