Be wary of the Reptile Basics fixtures. They work but they have a cheap reflector and in my testing I've found that their output is significantly lower than what you would have when using a high quality grow light fixture. The Sunblaster fixtures are a good option if you want to hang the fixture and don't need it to sit flat (the reflector doesn't come all the way down over the sides of the bulb). Otherwise I'd use the T5 ReptiSun hood for mounting on top or the one from LightYourReptiles which can be mounted on top or it can be hung up easily.

Thanks Cooper for pointing that out. Had no idea that the Reptile Basics fixtures are cheap lol :shock:

Thank you...
when I got her, she was sluggish, hardly any appetite, etc
when I rigged her new digs, and with the right UVB, she did a 100% turnaround!
