    Default Proper lighting and fixture for Amber?

    (Edit! Sorry about the HUGE pictures!!!!)
    Hey Guys and Girls!

    I read a few threads on the right light to buy for getting our Amber the UVB's she needs. From what I read it seems the reptiglo 10UVB compact bulb was recommended.


    So I bought one of those and this



    But the bulb sticks out a bit so I wonder if I bought the wrong lamp?


    It also doesn't seem to put out a ton of light, even with the lights off.



    So to sum it all up, is this bulb and lamp okay for my squirrel, and is it enough light and positioned okay for her to get it? Do I need to have multiple lights or is the one on the bottom level enough(will she sit under it when she needs it kind of thing?).

    Thanks!

    From what I can tell this looks great! Make sure she has a place to get away from the light if she wants, but great job.

    The Reptiglow 10 isn't a heat lamp.

    Thanks for the comments guys! I guess for now we will stick to only one light. She sits and sleeps under it so I guess she knows she needs it and we don't need to worry about covering half the cage with it.

    Thanks!
