Hi just wondering whats the best changes i could make to my setup if im doing something wrong. My tegu has mbd and im getting him sorted but i need to make sure my tank is setup correctly. I have a uvb 100 at the moment, i moved it closer down to him since i found out about his mbd i have a 100w exo terra day glow and a 100w cermaic emitter thats on 24hrs a day so its just that on at night to stop temps dropping too low. His temps range from 104ish from basking to 80ish on the cool side where he has a burrow well an exo terra hide that he goes under. Im sure it was too much phosphorus that caused his mbd but thinkin off moving to a reptisun 10.0 or is an arcadia better?
Any advice is appreciated hes only in the exo tank for now will be moved when hes recovered and grows a bit more. Oh and humidity is like 60-80 percent usually.

Not sure about that UVB being so close to the gu. What if he/she tries jumping on it or knock over another thing in the tank on the bulb while you’re away and it breaks. Gu could be walking on or ingesting glass

Nah i moved it up a bit but he can barely walk never mind jump at the moment so i have plenty off time before that could happen.

Regarding the distance from the UV....I would just follow the manufacture's recommendations. The Arcadia bulbs give distance from the bulb based on each model they carry.
