UVB size

[Salsa2012]

Hello
My tank is about four feet long, how long of a UVB tube do you think I should have? Ours seems pretty short (maybe a foot) so I'm wondering if I need to buy a larger one.
Thank you!

Yes a 24" w/ reflector would be good for your 4ft tank - I have two tanks of 4x2x2 and use 24" -- you can look at pangeareptiles.com but I think they were out of the ZooMeds but you can try here https://www.reptilesupplyco.com/who...84-reptisun-terrarium-hood-t5-24-zoo-med.html I am not sure how fast they are shipping out -- you could call them and ask -- you dont want a fixture the same length of the tank they need to be able to get out of the rays w/ out having to hide from them

I for got to post this bulb you will need it -- the fixture comes w/ a 5.0 bulb its not strong enough for your tank you can keep it for a back up its equivalent to a T 8
