Whisch is better for BTS a 5.0 or 10.0 tube? I is in a enclosure that is 12' high and will be about 5- 6 inches from basking area. It will be 18' long.
Thanks

If providing uv is your goal,id maybe aim for the ten,,at least when its half worn iut it still gives off the lower powered ones uv,lol

But look where the animals are from,desert animals you usually use higher power,rain forrest lower,i dont use uv at all,i think dietry suplementation is of way more importance,uv cant hurt though,just be aware though that they arent miracle lights,feed a bad diet with no supplementation and animals go downhill just as much with uv or with out
