Ok good what length of hood? I will need to help you place it when you get it --- let me know when you get it --- the basking light is a good --- just make sure you have a digital probe thermometer to get the actual basking temp - the probe needs to be placed on the spot where he sits to bask for 10 minutes or so then get the temp -- babies need 105-110 --- if hes older like 5-6 months old he will need temps 95-110 --

https://www.amazon.com/Reptisun-T5-...W4NDM1E7EFM&psc=1&refRID=JEQKD4VPHW4NDM1E7EFM i Should be getting a digital thermometer soon, so that’s good. Apparently the actual bulb is 22’’ so thats something. Also, is Arcadia a good brand for UVB? I was considering it but decided to go with the reptisu t5 instead

 

[Mr.Chicken Nugget]

I'm not them but you should probably go with the reptisun t5. I have never even heard of the other brand.

Ok, well I already ordered the t5 so that’s good

 

[HoomanSlave]

Arcadia is a good-quality bulb and some people prefer them to Reptisuns. They put out the perfect amount of UVB. Either bulb type would have been fine. Congrats on convincing them!

Arcadia is a great bulb --- I actually like them better than the Reptisuns but both are good bulbs--- when you get your fixture please let me know I will help you get it placed and distance as well

Ok! Maybe I’ll go with arcadia in the future. Their dragon bulb looked great And had good reviews. The only thing that stopped me was that no had recommended it to me, so maybe in the future.

I'm sorry for giving you wrong information :-(.

Nah, it’s fine. Probably not a well known brand, but at least it’s good.

Your bulb will need to be replaced in a year- I would change it out about a month prior to - so when you get it placed make sure you mark your calandar- the Arcadia you would need is the 12% bulb that is the same basically as the Reptisun 10.0 T 5
