Hi all

I've just brought a 4ft tank for my dragon. Starting her a new set up as she is quickly out growing the one she is in now. Do I have to put a 4 ft uv bulb in it or will the 18 inch one out off my old tank be enough??

Many thanks for any help or advice :D

I have read different debates on this. The UVB needs to be at least 2/3 of the tank. I am getting a 4x2x2 enclosure soon. I plan on trying to run it the full length, as suggested by the breeder of my beardie. I already have a 24" and will add 18" light to the new viv. I already have these, or I would opt for one 36 or 46 fixture. :D

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!
