arboreal will not produce anything with the type of mesh and isn't recommended to begin with for leopard geckos anymore.

#

it's meant for arboreal creatures that are going to be directly under it like crested geckos.

#

the 7% shadedweller is really going to be the only one to actually produce any UVB with the type of mesh your tank has.

@distant gull Switch out the sand mat.

@gentle root even if the distance is only 10-12”? I don’t want to overload my gecko as I still like to give calcium w d3

@gentle root my gecko hasn’t stopped roaming 🙂 happy I changed his enclosure up!

#

What about even a 5?

#

a 5 may do okay

#

but anything below a 5 will not

#

the range of UVI you want for your leopard gecko is .5-1.5 roughly so.

#

this is for the arcadia fixtures and not the reptisun 5% but you can see how the lower bulbs don't really reach the range you want in thrive tanks until you get super close to them
