Lighting setup, cheap heat control

[The Biologist]

Due to the tropical weather we have been having in MN we added the adjustable cube shelving thing to easily move the basking lamp away when it is too hot. I thought it was clever so I thought I'd share.

Is that your uvb running up and down the side of the enclosure? I am not sure if thats a good idea to run a light vertical on a cham.

We try to mimic the real world not because its fun, but because deviations can wreak havoc on cham health. A vertical light would be totally unnatural and not sure what the long term impact would be.

Just food for thought, maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in, but I know I wouldn't run any light vertical on the side on my cham's.

Yeah I've read some of the discussions on the topic and it doesn't really seem like a genuine risk to me. The heat comes from the top, like the sun when it is above and the hottest. I'll call the angled UVB sunrise and sunset.
