My Blue Tongue is living in a 4ft Viv (will have to check dimensions)
One end he has a 150W spot light controlled by a dimmer stat. The other end has a normal household bulb which is used only for light, but I dont use that one.
I have a 10% Uv tube going along the length of the viv.

Have you read over this?

Very nice.
He looks like an Indonesian, but im not 100%.
And yea, theres a lot of conflicting info on wether they need the UV light or not. Best to be safe then sorry imo.
