Hey everyone,
Starting a new upgrade for my boy, Nigel. I recently picked up an awesome curio cabinet with a glass front (good for the humidity as it's super dry here in Colorado). I've extended the back, built a custom planter box and hideaway for the water reservoir and misting system...
Part of me is looking at a combo:

^ with a T5 Desert 12% bulb for penetration
Let me know if I'm in the wrong!
Would love some opinions on lighting. I currently have a 24" Reptisun UVB LED combo hood. It's been great in his 30" wide cage. However, I'm about to upgrade to a much larger 40" wide, 70" tall, and 20" deep cage. Any thoughts on best combo for penetration of UVB and LED for plant growth? Either...
the sides are vented with mesh as well as the top, but underneath the soil is drainage into a drainage pipe. From what I've ready, 3 sides with ventilation will be enough, but if I do need to improve airflow, I may look into a fan/powerhead system if that's the case.
