Yup you can just make sure to remove the plastic cover on the fixture :)

I was looking them up on Zilla, but didn't see any size other than 18" (or a T5, for that matter) Is that correct?

I've heard rumors of a larger size but the 18'' is the only one I've seen and used. It's commonly available at pet stores too.

I can get it off of amazon way cheaper than buying the zoo med hood and buying the zoo med uvb

Probably but not as good as the T 8- I got rid of the bulb I think it was a 50 watt and put the Reptisun bulb in -- they are way better - you can get a fixture off of www.pangeareptiles.com for $20 and get the T 8 bulb there as well - not sure about length of that one -- it might be 18"

That is a T 5 sorry --- so for $31 you can get a light fixture and a bulb for $20 --- from there the Arcadia 14% is a good bulb as well - they dont need to be changed out but once a year

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
