Hi there,

Your heat bulb is fine as long as it produces the temps you need. What are you measuring your temp with?

As far as your uvb bulb, I really dont know. It's not a common bulb over here so we really haven't tested it much if at all to see its output. Does the box or company website have any details on it?

Typically we would recommend the reptisun tubes or the Arcadia tubes. The Arcadia tubes are much more available over seas than they are in the us, they are great bulbs.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
