I am a new owner. In fact he is shedding on his tail. However I am not sure if it is the beginning or the end of it. its up to the middle of his tail a lil less. he is very active & alert. He has two branches/trees one under the basking spot and one under the uv. The hood is sitting on top of...

hi so I have my beardie spyro, he/shes about 8 - 10 inches long. When I first got him he ate like a pig and slowly stopped eating. He ate crickets the most, occasional superworm, some lettuce and I just tried wax worm the other day he gobbled 6 down and hasnt ate since. He'll lick his food but...

awesome so I'm just gonna continue using the hood and not worry about mounting it inside. Thanks for the reply!

Hi I just picked up a 40 gal breeder tank for 30$ what a deal! I also had upgraded my lights. Currently running a 10.0 reptisun t8 with the zoo med hood. (Obviously sitting on top of the screen). I have read that using the hood because it had a reflector built in, is fine and doesn't have...

could superworms do this as well?

the basking surface temp gets to about 105 and I believe the long wire probe

my room gets quite chilly I have the attic. and its about 100 F hot side and about 80 F on the cool edit: he spends most of his time on the hot side.

thanks for the advice everyone. I decided to go to PetSmart and get a 26 watt uvb bulb for 26$ and got the extra dome for 5$ at Wal-Mart. This is temporary until upgraded tank. Currently running two lamps; The uvb bulb & the daytime 100 watt uva bulb. anything else I should adjust? What...

Yes 10 gal is just temporary I am definitely getting a 40 gal asap. I just would like to find a temporary source of uvb for now. When I get a 40gal I would get something more expensive & permanent. So if I go with a uvb bulb in the dome that would provide the uvb & heat that the uva day time...

Awesome ! I never thought about that. So I can run this setup if I get a nice little uvb bulb for the dome and just use the mini T5 I have for uva like so? I would of course get more proper lightning as he's only in a 10gal at the moment.

delete/ignore please

thank you for the response. the answer I was looking for. I am aware of the disease which Is why I am concerned. He seems to really like it so would I be able to run both those lights without hurting him ? I get paid Friday and had already planned to get a proper UVB bulb regardless.

just edited the post with a picture. The light emits barely any heat, it can be on for hours and I can touch it without a problem. He seems to enjoy it more than the basking light

The little guy seems to love the light. I don't mind leaving it on there but I just wanna kno if it's uva and make sure it's not gonna fry him

Thanks for a reply. It is a mini T5 fixture. Positive it runs 2 6watt bulbs. thanks for the info on the bulb. It barely emits any heat
