Good Afternoon all,

So I've baught "Arcadia D3 UV Basking Lamp, 100 W, E27" which emits UVA and UVB, so I need my 10.0 fluorescent UVB tube light anymore once it arrives or is it save to have it running anyway for when she's not basking?

Thanks all :D

Your Arcadia MVB should provide enough UVB and heat over the basking site when set at an appropriate distance (about 12-14''/30-35cm). If you have a large enclosure you could still use the T5 and set it to the front or back but you want to still have areas without UVB and provide a good gradient, just as you do with heat. Test it out and see how your dragon reacts with either setup and base your changes off of their reaction and behavior.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
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
