I've decided to begin setting up a free range in my living room for Pete to enjoy. I'm picking up a 4.5 foot ficus tonight which I intend to sit on a stool in front of my large living room window. This will have it standing about 5.5 to 6 feet. I'm going to hang a pothos from the ceiling a few feet over and connect the two with vines. My intent is to set up a standing lamp to aim a basking light at the tree for his hot spot.
This free range will be used for about an hour in the evening when I get home from work, before he goes to bed...and a few hours on both Saturday and Sunday when I'm home. My question to you guys is, will a uvb be required for the free range if he's there for a small portion of the day? The remainder of his time will be spent in his enclosure with full lighting.
Also, if anyone has suggestions or tips for me I'm all ears.
