As far as calcium dusting goes does he/she need d3? I don’t know how much light he/she is getting. I have a 10.0 t5 hood light, with a basking spot 4 inches away from the light. Should I get the calcium dust with or without d3? (I also have a vitamin dust with d3 in it)
W the D 3 5 x per week and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week -- The T 5 is too close for 4" --- depending on the screen it can sit on top of screen but it MUST BE a wide hole type - 8-10 inches w/ basking decor directly below it --- if inside the tank it should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor piece
What kind of screen please post a pic of it--- fine mesh like a screen door it needs to be inside - if it's a wide hole type it can stay on top- the distance depends on placement-- one we figure out the screen I can tell you distance-- this is crucial- I think so for the vitamins-
Yes and that is a wide hole type -- make sure you have the UVB directly over the basking decor piece w/ 8-10 inches under it -- bulb will need to be changed out in one year approx I recommend a month prior to
please take your decor piece and lay the big stick part down on the floor w/ the big trunk part directly under the UVB --- measure how far it is from UVB
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
