I've had my Male RES for about 4 years now, shell is about 4". Last time I took him to a herp vet they said he was extraordinarily strong and healthy. Lately I have been wanting to upgrade his environment. I have been working on an ATBA, which is almost finished (i'll post pictures afterwards) and am now thinking of changing a few other things. One being lighting.
Steve is it common knowledge that the basking bulbs in domes are not healthy for an RES? If the horizontal bulbs are preferred, how do you adjust the height as the bulb ages, as you would with a dome lamp on an adjustable stand.
I've seen some people's builds of beautiful ATBA's on this site, with gorgeous canopies - I imagine those light sources are fixed, right? So what should one do here?
Thanks!
