UVB Lighting

[Uvagohoos]

Hello I just got my three month old veiled yesterday and put her in a 2 x 2 x4 screen cage which I sectioned off to 2 x 2 x 2 she seems fine in the cage but I'm worried about her UVB lighting, she has an 18 inch long tube uvb bulb in her cage but unfortunately that doesn't cover whole cage, is this okay?

She will regulate her uv herself if the setup allows. So its good enough if she can get within 8" of the tube, and also has a play area that is 2ft away or farther. The light is worthless past about 18". Even my ubber T5 HO's that put out 4x the light are only good enough at 28".

Alright perfect yes she'll be able to get within 4 inches of the light and and about 2 feet away as she gets older I plan to give her the full cage so she'd get a to be about 4 feet away
