Hey, I'm new here and to the bearded dragon world,
I made a thread about a brand of lighting in the enclosures section, but Buggsy advised me to make a thread here because people living in Australia may have different brands or requirements.
So if you could help me out, Aussies and non-aussies, it would be greatly appreciated.
(I'll copy what I wrote in the other thread here)
"I'm a bit of a newbie to Bearded dragons and am attempting to set up an enclosure because I may purchase a beardie in the near future. I have a friend of an Aunt who owns a bearded dragon. Yesturday she took me, my mum and my aunt shopping for beardie equiptment.
One thing I got was a UVB fluorescent tube with the brand 'repti-lux'.
I was a bit blown away by what can be described as 'extreme enthusiasm' on my aunts friend's behalf and was a bit too shell-shocked to stop and check if the brand was trustworthy before purchasing.
So...is it?
I tried looking it up on the internet but it's all in chinese (?) writing...so I can't tell
Oh, and I have just read at the bottom that I have 5.0, but it's the 8.0 tube that is appropriate for beardies...I am so confused..."
Thanks for the help
