The tubes you mention need to be within a maximum of 25cm (10inches) fom the surface of the animal/s when basking.
if it has no effect i will just use them as extra lighting

I thought I escaped you for good. Hi, Stefan. How are you doing?

Hi Hedy, I`m doing fine, I hope you are, too!
I think it was Miss Aja Michelle or Wayne or Joshua who informed me you were missing our friendly banter so here I am, ready when you are.....
I was seriously hoping Frank Indiviglio would be deep in conversation but no sign of that? I hope it won`t be a missed opportunity, a chance to get the message across that there IS a better way when it comes to captive care of these animals (there`s even LOTS of REAL evidence)!!

If Bennett, Mendyk & Kirshner all together can't sway him Stefan, I don't see him changing his views.
