My Rainbow Jackson Chameleon setup, is it good?

@JacksJill is a t8 as good as a t5 and can a rainbow Jackson’s be comfortable in a 18x18x36 cage?

 

[JacksJill]

T8 is inferior to T5 in out put and penetrating down into the cage. Go with T5. 18x18x36 is acceptable for Tjj males and females but not for xanths.

Ok, thanks @JacksJill.

How? That’s the size it should be it’s should be as long as the cage

My cage is for a rainbow Jackson, it stays a relatively small size.

Thank you.

My cage is smaller because of the rainbow Jackson not needing the larger types of enclosure so the t5 is too big for it.

However the T8 is the exact size of the enclosure.

Exact size does not matter as much as the uvb output does.

I use T5 in my 36 inch cages it is not too much UVB if that is what you are getting at. It should run the length of the cage top.
