Spot or flood?
Hi, which trex bulb would be best to use with a tub measuring roughly 3' by 2'? It will be for 2 baby hermanns (just under a year old). I read somewhere that flood was best as the torts always get the UV, but then when as I was about to buy one it said they were best for 'larger enclosures'?!
Thanks, Jo x |

floods are best for larger enclosures, but the spot isnt much better than the flood even if the torts bask loads, so u may aswell get the flood and at least the torts will get uv right throughout their enclosure.
