#2262589 Nocturnelle View Profile	If you use an MVB, do you include the tube UVB? I currently have perfect temps with a basking bulb + ceramic heat emitter on low for the hot end (100F ambient, 125-130F basking), and a Zoo-med Reptisun 10.0 on the cool end (80-85F ambient) for UVB and extra light. I was wondering for future reference, if I decided to try an MVB when my basking bulb dies, do I then remove the tube UVB light on the other side? Or can I still use it for extra light and UVB coverage for the rest of the tank not under the MVB. I have a 40 gallon right now. I just want to try MVBs at some point cause I heard such great things about them. Thanks!

If that is the case (I don’t see where that was mentioned) then yes, a larger enclosure would be necessary. My above comment would be referring to a 4x2 enclosure, which is still on the smaller side, even for a smaller species like philbyi.
