Hello all, I'm going to be moving my veiled into a larger setup in the near future and I'd like some input on lighting.
I plan to build a very large cage, probably in the 6+ foot tall range. What kind of lighting would be acceptable for this? I'm thinking t5ho, but I'm familiar with those in saltwater aquariums, not so much with reptiles. I've heard a lot of debate over 5.0 vs 10.0, the latter mostly being used in taller setups, but is this true?
Also, do I use a single lamp or will I need 2 5.0 (or 10.0) in something like this. It will most likely be around 3ft wide, so I'd assume the 39w t5ho is what I'd use.
Lastly, can anyone recommend a good light fixture. I've done plenty of diy setups so that's actually preferable for the enclosure I've got in mind.
Thanks in advance
