If you can get the bulb down to be within maybe 4 or 5 inches of the baby, it will help give at least some UV, but they are really subpar bulbs. Getting the natural sunlight will be a big help.
I can do that.
Yes, b3
So glad i got something right. Lol
He's not shaking this morning, i hope he will be okay!
Oh, i didn't turn the ted lights on last night, and they all slept so good! Why do the kits put in red lights, if they not good for lizards???
Thanks again!
Well, it will depend on whether you get the reptisun t8 or the reptisun t5 HO bulb.
They both are flourescent bulbs, so they need to be in a florescent fixture. A T8 or a T5 fixture respectively.
How do you choose which t5 or t8? well you do that based off of how far your basking site is from the bulb, if it's going to be obstructed by the mesh, and if the fixture has a reflector.
Do you know about how close the basking site would be to the bulb? And if it will be sitting ontop of mesh or will it be unobstructed?
Here is a sticky to some info on lighting. It's a bit older, but still good info: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=148006
Good news, i was able to get the correct light and fixture for the hatchlings. It cost a lot, so I'll get one set once a month. Need 4 more sets to have everyone coved. Lol
Thanks!
