Thank you so much for all the help. I just need some money now. I think I've also found a vet about 30 miles away. He is eating less. Closing his eyes alot. When I gave him a bath today he didn't poo. He also kicked his back leg up to scratch/ rub his eye. I looked at both eyes and don't see...

The highest spot was 14" away from the mvb, it's a 100w. It was 105-107 in that spot. I lowered the platform away from the light a little bit. Still taking temps there. I've been giving greens with bee pollen sprinkled on top. His appetite is not back to normal, but he is eating. He also was...

Please forgive my ignorance, but could you elaborate on these husbandry changes. Maybe, some specifics?

I will try to up the temps at night.

I am still trying to find a vet. Definately not going to the same one again. I swear he just went home and googled it and then called me and told me what I already had been reading about. So, he had a bath today, and pooed, and is in the basking spot now. Also ate a few greens and a couple...

Thank you, I will call around.

So, I was on here the beginning of March. My beardie is 15" long nose to tail. I got him in Oct. and he was 6" long, not sure how old. He started hiding, under his basking spot, and eating less. I came here to find I was using the "devil light" (zilla dessert 50) I shut it off, and he perked up...

I had the same problem with this light. Now I am using a MVB bulb and love it. The zilla fixture I had was a 48" hood combo with the long floresent tube uvb. Unfortunatly, when I went to get the reptisun 10, I found out they don't make it in the size I need. My hood uses a T-5 size bulb, and...

Ok thanks! I see it now that you mention it. Do you leave that in there all the time?

I finally got my bulb yesterday. The only one I could find in my town was a Powersun 100w mvb. Thats what I am using right now. I plan to get a mega-ray or t-rex in the future, but I needed this today. Considering all the bad things I read about the bulb I was using (zilla t-5 dessert 50) this...

I want to get a MVB. I have a 72 gal. bow front tank. Anyone, have a similar set up and want to share? What wattage bulb should I get? Is this the only uvb source I need then? I know it's hard to guess because the temps in everyones home are different. I just want some suggestions, because my...

Thank you so much. I would love to see pics of your set up. Just to be clear, I can just use the MVB in the basking spot for heat/uvb and thats all the uvb I need? Provided ,I get the right distance and temps. Then just use a regular bulb in the cool end for added heat if I need it? Is this...

Ok so I'm thinking of MVB now. So this bulb can be used for heat and uvb? I will not need a tube light or any other uvb source? I have a 72 gal tank what watt bulb do you think I need??? Which is better I hear alot about trex and mega ray?
