10inch. from light. What?
I feel that I'm fairly on the ball about my anoles and long tails but I read in another thread that Rich said something about "are they 10 inches from their light" I do not understand. The plants in my inclosure go all the way up the back wall. All my Lizards like to hanging out at the top this makes them only about a inch and a half away from their uv light. Is there a problem?

Re: 10inch. from light. What?
With flourescent lights the UVB drops off dramatically the farther you get fromnthe light. 10 inches away is about the maximum distance to get any useable light from a flourescent tube. 2 inches from a flourescent tube is not a problem.
Now that close to a mercury vapor bulb is dangerous.

Re: 10inch. from light. What?
Also bear in mind that fluorescent UVB lights only last about 6 months or so, so if the bulbs are older than that you'll need to replace them.
