Hello a few days a go i posted a pic of the enclosure i had built and everyone gave me great suggestions on how to make it better i did some of these and just want to get you opinions again. I did get rid of the compact flourescent uvb bulb but have to wait till this weekend to get an MVB. those things are pricey. I did just put in a regular house bulb for added lighting (hope that is okay) as i hope to get a bigger fixture to do this. He should be okay without the other uvb lamp until then right?

looks good what is the temp below the light I see a gauge on the wall do you have a temp gun I personally do not like those gauges when I got my temp gun an check it was off 11 degrees about the MVB bulb look on EBay or Tortoise supply LLL reptiles way cheaper than petco or petsmart

He will be fine without a UVB bulb for a while. Your enclosure looks great but I would back the half log against the side so he has a more secure place to sleep...

thankyou, Due to my inability to take a good picture, i had trouble taking a picture of the left side i do have a bigger log up against the side with the fake plants around it. He loves to sleep under that one
