Yes he’s eating all his greens and crickets just fine! His UVB bulb is a 10.0 Reptisun compact bulbKarrieRee":1w89smlr said:Yes its posted - for some reason it posted clear to the top of the post
It looks normal - my dragons often have their fingers up like that -- is he eating? What are you using for a UVB ? brand and bulb please and is it a coil or tube?
Karrie
I actually already have the T 8 hood with a 10.0 UVB (T8) tube if that will work, if not, I’m able to get a new one today. The only other bulbs we have are basking and daylight bulbs. We use a black light at night because my dragon weirdly prefers itKarrieRee":1u6rz39c said:Ok your compact bulb is inadequate --- please get rid of it -- too many health issues w/ this bulb -- you need to get this - it is one of the best on the market at this time
For a 40+ gallon tank

w/ this bulb https://www.reptilesupplyco.com/t5-uvb-bulbs/1878-reptisun-100-uvb-t5-ho-fluorescent-bulb-22-zoo-med.html
this fixture will come w/ a 5.0 bulb -- you can use it as a back up its considered to be a T 8 so if ever used it will need to be at a distance of 6-8 inches --
The T 5 bulb has options - if your screen is fine mesh like a screen door it needs to be inside the tank distance 12-15 inches ---- if your screen is a wide holed like a dime it can be on top w/ a distance of 8-10 inches -----------both distances need to have the basking decor piece directly underneath - I would get this ASAP --
Are you using any colored bulbs for like heat etc?

He doesn’t sleep without it, are you sure?KarrieRee":69sfgrxt said:Colored bulbs are no good for their eyes- they need darkness and cool temps to sleep -- the light disrupts their sleep -- they have a 3rd eye on their head for predators- their eyes are sensitive to light - please get rid of it

I’ll go without it tonight Sorry if that last reply seemed condescending. Is the hood and bulb I have good? The Reptisun T8 30” with the Reptisun 10.0 T8 UVB tube bulb?KarrieRee":3w1wuth1 said:Yes -- leave it off and watch his behavior-- it will benefit him in the long run
