Beardie Lighting Advice. Please Help!

Babybeardie3 · Oct 15, 2017

I am looking to get my beardie a new UVB light. The one she has now came in her tank kit and I don’t think it is providing enough UVB for proper growth. She’s 10 months old and around 13-14 inches including her tail which I heard is quite small for her age and that more UVB exposure can help. If anybody has any suggestions as to what new UVB I should get it would great appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there!

A really great UVB is a 22" tube reptisun 10.0 t5. This lasts longer than most and you only have to change it one a year

Just have it 10-12 inches above the basking spot. There's also Arcadia 12% UVB as well

I agree, a T5 is a great investment. I use this one and it's amazing. My favorite of the bunch (so far).

Thanks for the help! And this will work for a 55 gallon enclosure?

Yes, I use the t5 reptisun for a 50 gallon, so it will work fine
