I'll be housing a harem of quadricornis in my large 'open air' enclosure within a few weeks and I'm collecting the lighting supplies now.
For my full spectrum flourescent lighting I was planning on getting two 48 inch shop lights each with two bulbs. These will be run about 14 hours a day.
Would 2 reptisun 5.0s, mixed with 2 GE sunlight flourescents work well enough for this species? I'm thinking so but wanted some clarification.
Would the 2 48" reptisuns provide enough UV? I could go with 4 reptisuns, but it would be nice to save a few bucks here and there and supplement with two $7 bulbs
My basking lamp will either be a 70 watt 10K metal halide, a 150 watt 10 metal halide, or perhaps simply a 75 watt plant floodlight but this will only be run about 4 hours a day during prime basking times, so the flourescents will need to provide the bulk of the UV.
Thanks in advance.
