I sent links if you order the repti zoo get the 24" fixture and change the bulb out - those repti zoo bulbs are not of good quality

How can you change the bulbs out and how do you know what bulb will fir

The bulbs pull out and for a 24" fixture they take a 22" - for a 36" fixture they take a 34" bulb - your tank is 36" long you dont want the same length UVB - the dragon needs to be able to get out of the UVB w/ out having to hide from it - he needs to be able to sit in his tank w/ out having to sit under it all the time

When it says 24W great for 24” enclosures, 39W great for 36” enclosures. Should I go for the 24W for 24” enclosures?

 

[ScooterRenee2022]

My enclosure is 36”. It’s a 40 gallon tank.

Your tank is 36" correct- go for a 24" fixture - that fixture is for a 24 watt bulb T 5 -

So go for a 39w for a 36” enclosure. Sorry I’m just really confused. Yes it’s says a T5 10.0.

No I would go for a 24" fixture you dont want the 36" fixture that would be the whole tank - you need to have the dragon be able to sit in his tank w/ out having to hide from the UVB- I use a 24" fixture in my 120 gallon tank - are you getting the Repti Zoo fixture?

 

[ScooterRenee2022]

Yes I’m going with the repti zoo fixture. It’s a combo kit. I’m going to try this first.

Combo kit? Is that the bulb I am assuming- those bulbs are not of good quality - I would switch the bulb out to the Reptisun 10.0 T 5 or the Arcadia 12% 24 watt

Ok yes thats what it says. also have another question but I don’t know if I have to start another post. I have tried putting fake foliage into his tank but he keeps trying to eat it. I have fresh veggies in his tank at all times but if I put foliage into the tank, for example a vine. He eats it and I don’t know why. As soon as I see him do it i take it out. I have tried a few times but I gave up. I didn’t let him eat them of course I put he would try to bite them. I just don’t want him to get sick. Do I keep trying or should I just not put anything like that into his enclosure? I thought it would make his terrarium look nice.
