I've given up finding it. It's like one of those things you keep searching and never find then one day when you're not looking it pops up right in your face!

This is extemely frustrating. I have tried for over an hour to find the posts and can't find them but I KNOW I saw posts that list 3 or 4 bulbs in a column that are bad then 3 or 4 bulbs in a column that are good. The person mentioned staying away from the Zilla T10 but that the T8 was fine...

I read in one of the lighting comparison posts that the Zilla light I have is a good one. I'll try to find it and reproduce the pertinent info here with a link.

He's had no UVB light since Sunday, June 13th. He seems to be back to his normal self. He's moving around in the tank to adjust his basking. He's eating crickets and has even taken one of the veggie balls. My wife has been taking him outside in the morning sun every day for a few minutes.

Sad, I didn't read your whole post before posting that last response. This morning, per the advice of MANY posts on different forums, my wife gave Elliot a small, warm bath. I think, since he has opened his eyes, I will keep the new light over him for now as I heard UVB is absolutely necessary...

Thank you for your reply. Last night, as soon as we knew what the problem was, we turned off the compact flourescent UVB light. Elliot opened one of his eyes (the right) this morning after spending a small amount of time in the morning sun. Later this morning Elliot actually ate 3 crickets...

I've read more than I care to about bulbs and UVB and this rate and that measure. This is for information only to people who may need it. I just recently adopted a baby beardie. It started acting 'funny' and worried my wife (she loves this thing already!). She googled 'beardie won't open eyes'...

We just got a baby beardie and the store made some recommendations that we took. We bought a Zilla Basic Desert Kit which comes with a 10 gallon tank, lights, mat, thermometer, etc...We were told we would also need a basking lamp. So what we have are a Zilla Incandescent Day White Light Spot...
