I've decided to try and lower both the heat light and UVB into my beardies cage so he can be closer to them. The height is 24 inches so it's extremely hard getting him close to the heat and I fear he's not getting enough UVB since his appetite has decreased (could be the weather still, not sure).
I have one of the screen tops with plastic bars in the middle, so I'm not sure how to make this possible. Measurement wise, I need to lower the heat lamp 7 inches down into the cage for his temps to be hot enough, and the UVB just needs to be inside, since it has a range of 24 inches anyways. His new basking enclosure is 7 inches high and will be on the right side of the cage so I was thinking of hanging the UVB on the right side of his cage, but I just don't know how to do this and ensure it won't ever fall.
I've heard some things about hangers and hooks but in my case, I will have to somehow cut the screen and hang them from it, but I'm not sure. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. I think this will fix my beardies small appetite if I get this right!
