Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking into bulbs for my tegu enclosure. It was recently built made out of 3/4" oak wood with drylok for sealant. I unfortunately had to roll with 6x4 for right now but I intend on building a new one in six months (wasn't able to rent a big enough vehicle for transport). Just need suggestions for full coverage. I have three light fixatures but could easily add more. I built a platform 1.5' away from one of the light fixatures. I am not particularly worried about that area and far more nervous about keeping the ambient temp at 85 to 95. What I have currently are two 150W bulbs, one is a ceramic heat emitter and the other is a genetic UVB bulb. Additionally, I have another generic 200W. If you have any great experiences with a particular bulb please let me know as it would be great to be able to get whatever has worked for others. Thank you!
