I will let some of the experts also chime in but as I have been reading to forum religiously, soaking in all the info........
Yes, your uvb light and basking light need to overlap so your beardie can create and process vit d and calcium properly. Your uvb lighy should also span 2/3rds of the tank.
yeah, just a bit, the light from each needs to overlap. Also, a hammock or branch or somesuch? so he can get 6 inches from the lamps. Those UV bulbs dont penetrate very deep, if you ever upgrade get a T5 tube unit, they are highly reccomended
What type of UVB bulb are you using?? are you using a MVB?? Yes they need to overlap with eachother as they are both needed to digest, absorb and synthesize d3 and calcium
