I have been struggling to get rid of these tiny little flies for some months now. I have cleaned the colony and replace egg crates a few times, but they keep showing up. I don't know what they are or where they came from, but I think they are laying eggs in or on my adults somehow because I am...
If you have open top vivs then you have a lot more "play room" for adjusting the height of the bulb and the temps in the viv. Heat from the MVB can easily escape. I have my megaray inside of my 4x2x2 and I watch my temps closely because those bulbs can get hot and it has nowhere to go inside of...
No sweat! 8) You could send me a private message (PM). If you click on the PM icon next to one of my posts, you can send me a message directly.
I use a megaray. From what I have read, it is the top of the line. T-Rex is made by the same people and probably comes in a close second. Be sure to...
If you are talking about the door tracks, I got my original ones from here (but I couldn't use them):

Then I found a local glass shop that cut the glass and provided a...
Absolutely! It would not be too much. It needs to be at least 24-30" tall to insure that you have adequate distance between the MVB and your dragon.
I don't use night time heat. The room temperature in that room doesn't go below 75 so that's perfectly fine. If I did need night time heat, I...
I have 3 fixtures. All are mounted to the top of the viv (inside). I have one 36" flourescent tube fixture and two basking fixtures on opposite sides of the viv. one has a 100watt MVB and the other has a 35 watt halogen.
Is this actually a MegaRay or some other brand of MVB? I didn't know you could buy a MegaRay in a store. Do you use a surge protector? I don't know if this is the cause, but it is a thought.
Thanks Elora! I mostly followed the directions found in the Care Sheets and Articles section of BD.org with some tips from a few other sites. It was pretty easy.
Thanks! My dragon also grew 2 inches within 3 weeks of being in it.
My dragon won't eat crickets so I don't have that problem. It could be an issue though. The gaps that the sliding doors create are pretty small, but it would be possible for a determined cricket to squeeze through there. The...
Very quickly:
styrofoam (left over from other things that I bought recently)
Hot glue gun (low temp gun or it will melt the styrofoam)
Great Stuff gap filler
knife for cutting and shaping
Sanded grout (powder mis without the mold guard stuff in it)
Paint brushes
non-toxic polycrylic sealer...
NO! This distance is not based on the heat. It is based on the UVB output. Any closer is damaging your beardie with UV radiation. AND don't put an MVB on a dimmer. It could blow much quicker. They are not designed to go on a dimmer switch.
