Where do I put the lights?

[kk1020man]

I have a reptarium and because of the dark screen I was wondering if the lights should be placed inside or outside the cage. I know the heat lamp should be out, we don't want any burns, but will the uvb/uva rays penetrate the heavy screen?

The short answer is Yes! The open air enclosures allow for complete penetration of the light and air through the cage

I wouldn't say complete. UVB is cut in half. If you place a reptisun 5.0 tube on top you will be fine. if you are using compacts read the instructions within the box. Check out this link
