Checking fit and placement

A 15W T8 tube is 438 mm long, so confirm that your terrarium fitting takes that length and is designed for a 15W T8 lamp before ordering. Mount it along the warm end of the enclosure, near the basking area, as reptiles naturally look for light and warmth in the same place. Check whether your species also needs a dedicated UVB lamp, and plan the layout so there are shaded areas to retreat to. Run the light on a timer for a regular day length, and note the fitting date so you know when the tube is due for a change.

Good to know

Check your species’ lighting needs, and replace fluorescent tubes regularly as their output falls with age.
