Hey guys, my enclosure is a 4 x 2 x 2 I just wanted to know the exact details of the bulb that I am replacing it’s the first time I’ve had to replace it and this little dude was given to me so I don’t really have a lot of info.

It’s a 22 inch bulb for an Arcadia fixture. So far I’ve been told T5 10.0 what % and what wattage please and thank you guys so much.

These things are expensive and I just don’t wanna get the wrong thing.

It’s not out yet, but I know that it’s pushing on a year old so I think it’s time to replace it

Yes 10 - 11 months it needs to be replaced -- you want a 22" Arcadia 12% 24 watt bulb - if you can get the D3 one-- how old is the dragon? The dragon needs calcium but age and your UVB will determine how often

Ok so w/ a D3 bulb your only gonna want to give calcium D3 once per week on his insects -- calcium w/ NO phosphate 2 times per week - dust his insects - the UVB is in the tank correct? It should be 12-15 inches directly above his basking decor
