Hello everyone! I am wondering about the amount (if any) of UVB that might get through window glass? I know that the UVB bulbs that we use do not work through glass, but I also know that natural sun is so much stronger and better.
My dragons love to sit in my windows, which right now is fine because I can open them to let the UVB in. I live in MA and winter is coming so soon I will have to close all my storm windows. My dragons go crazy in their tanks! Always wanting out, so they pretty much free-range all day (and some nights if I can't find them). I have one basking spot set up for them with a UVB bulb but they do not use it much because they prefer the windows. I also have a "swimming" pool set up for them, and a salad bar as well.
If no UVB or not enough UVB makes it through the window glass, I will just buy and set up some UVB bulbs above the window ledge, I am also going to be adding a basking spot for the window area.
Because they free-range so much I want to make sure that they are safe, and getting what they need to be happy and healthy!
Thanks for your help!
