The UVB tubes I provide are 18 inches.
Overdose just means to take in more than the required dose. If you were referring to supplemental d3, not if you are not using it. If you are using UVB appropriately there's no need for supplemental d3.
If you use UVB inappropriately your leo can receive too many UVB rays. Just the way we end up with sunburn from laying under the sun too long.
If you are an albino or a redhead you may be predisposed to skin cancer, therefore you take extra precaution. The difference is there is no such thing as reptile spf or sunglasses. We have to use common sense and invent ways to prevent over exposure to our leos. The solution is large enclosures and the use of a UVB meter to make sure they can escape as necessary.
This is the one that I have, however, Zoo Med now carries one as well.
