i NEED HELP.....

[iluvmybeardies]

hey all i need to know if the repti glo 15w 45cm/18" 10.0 T8 can cause harm if my bearded dragons sit within six or so inches from it i also use a zilla fixture with a T8 50. im i using to many uvb tube bulbs and can this cause my beardie to stop eating. she is still eating a little bit and pooping every morning but thats as much as she's been doing and sitting in her basking area alot.

What's the temps in her tank?

 

[iluvmybeardies]

106 hot side and 86 cool side humidity 36

Get rid of the Zilla T50 does more harm than good (mods please explain better for her). The reptiGLO isnt all that good either you really want the Arcadia 12% or the ReptiSUN 10.0 TUBE (Not coil, not compact)
How old us your dragon? And how do u measure the temps

 

[iluvmybeardies]

they're about 3 months old and i use an acurite digital indoor/outdoor thermometer with probe it also reads humidity.

 

[munchkins9802]

are they housed together and what is the substrate on the bottom of the cage.

You only need one UVB light (preferably the reptisun 10.0 TUBE or the arcadia) and a bright white (non soft) basking light --can be nonsoft household bulb. Glad it is the accurite digital thermometer

yes all four juvenile bearded dragons are housed together and im currently working on four new enclosures they should be done with in the next week if anyone has any plans on how to build a rack system it would be really helpful. anyway i stopped using both uvb tube bulbs until my reptisun bulbs come in and i've notice that they are all more active and eating better i also bring them out in the sun for about an hour and a half everyday and they seem to really enjoy it. thanks for the help
