Sorry I scanned it and didn't reduce it, it's an
old photo, not with the digi cam! LOL!

Listen, don't take away his opportunity to hide,
reptiles need this to feel secure and acclimate
well. If you want him to get UV (Of course you do!)
just make him a "privacy wall", so the top is open,
shaped like an L and cover the bottom part with
substrate and there's just a protruding wall he
can hide behind yet still get all the benefits
from the light - I'd switch to an Active UV,
that's my opinion but you can use whatever light
you like.
The picture shows Teddy sleeping behind his privacy
wall, and he had a box in there till he got to
big to walk through it, then he just got two
privacy walls, now he just has a privacy curtain
outside the cage.
