    Question about UVB

    We got our little bearded dragon about a week ago and I'm still trying to figure out the lighting. Right now I have a 100w basking bulb, a 26w coil UVB and an 18" tube UVB on a tank that is 40 gallon. I ordered the Reptisun 10.0 T8 bulb for the 18" fixture but it arrived broken so I'm using...

    Arcadia 12% position

    My 4 year old beardy is in a 36x18x18 enclosure. Currently I have an Arcadia 12% bulb in a Sunblaster fixture zip tied to the inside of the screen facing downward. Is this too close ?? In all my research when Nugget first fell into my lap 2 months ago, I learned the Arcadia12% is the best bulb...

    Lighting for 40 Gal Glass tank- help me out

    Hi, I got my first bearded dragon just over a year ago and I’ve had him in a 40 Gal glass aquarium for most of that time. I’ve come to realize that I probably haven’t had the best lighting set up for him, he certainly appears to be healthy and all but I think it could be significantly better. I...

    Is this too much UVB?

    Right now I use a T5 High Output Linear UVB bulb Zoomed Reptisun 10.0 24in long and it is working just fine. It sits on top of a screen mesh but I do plan on putting it inside at some point (Probably when I get him a bigger enclosure. Normally on a sunny day I sit in the backyard with Ember (my...

    Looking for basking light suggestions?

    I’m getting a beardie soon and have been trying to research different types of basking lights, and particularly ones that are still effective but not overpriced. I’ve seen a lot of people talk about using halogen floodlights and just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? I’m...

    UVB questions

    hey y’all, I have a 20” tube UVB (reptisun) in the hatchlings enclosure suspended inside about 8-12 inches away (pending where they’re at). Reason it’s kind of at this middle distance is because I’m not sure if I’m able to “mix” the bulb + housing. The housing for the bulb is the reptisun T8...

    New beardie owner, need advice

    Hi everyone. I am a new Beardie owner, I just bought him today - he is a Fancy, still very young and is about 6-8 inches in length. I got him a 20 gallon tank that came with 2 lights - a 75 watt "basking bulb" and a 13 watt UVB high-output bulb. From my understanding, I'm supposed to keep the...

    UVB Bulb - Issues finding fixture to fit T5 10.0 Reptisun

    Hello, For a long time I have used a T8 Reptisun with the Zoomed hood. I read that if you're using the UVB bulb on top of your tank's mesh, that it is a better idea to go with a T5 10.0, instead of T8, because apparently the BD will receive better amounts of UVB. Hopefully everything I said is...
