He closes his left eye most of the time when the UVB is on and even when he is out of his Viv. Once the UVB has been removed for a couple of days he rarely closes his eye at all and looks like it will fully recover. I am more than sure it is because of the UVB light, not sure it is the Zoo Med...

I have now introduced the UVB for a couple of hours each day and he is closing his eye more again :( I don't know what to do, I am very conscious he has gone without UVB for 2 weeks so don't want to leave it out anylonger but clearly his ee is still not fully healed. Is it good enough to just...

Yeah, I am very glad his eye is getting better. Still waiting for his eye to fully recover though :( I have sorted the basking heat problem by adding a 60w household bulb in the cool end, which helps up the overall viv heat. Now I have temps of 83 in the cool end and around 103 in the basking...

Sorry to hear that, may Remi rest in peace. The photos are really great to hold her memory. I have since removed the UVB and 5 days later his eye is the best it has ever been and I am now optimistic it will fully recover :D I am now not so worried about the little guy. I am going to introduce...

How is Remi doing now? Hope she pulled through

I will try a few days with no UV and see what happens, otherwise will just have to accept the fact he closes one eye more. Rex does not seem bothered by it and he seems to still have good vision with his bad eye. In 6 months I think I will try the Arcadia :D Have heard very good things about...

Thats a great start for Remi, sounds like she is on the right path to making a recovery even though they are baby steps :D Yeah, I bath Rex every other day and he had a bath this morning which has helped him shed, he has been a bit grumpy :P . The reptisun is next to his basking light and...

Thats good news, hope she wakes up :) Yeah, Rex went without for 1 week while I was waiting for his tube bulb. I saw a improvement when his uv was off but with the Reptisun tube bulb it is better than it was, but seems worse than when he had no uv. Maybe his eye was not fully healed? He is...

Oh no, sorry to hear that. I hope Remi fights through it and recovers. I am trying to do what I can. Will try turning off the UV for a few days but he went without for 1 week, about 1 week ago while I was waiting for the tube bulb, so I am cautious about it. Best wishes with Remi

It is a Exo Terra digital probe one which goes through a foam wall at his exact elevated basking height spot :) Funny stuff, sounds like they get on really well!!! I am happy with my one beardie seeing I am new to all this :P although I can see the addiction!!! maybe I will have more in the...

Yeah, that timing on the website is too elaborate and complicated for me at the moment also :) 8 vivs!! do you have just beardies or other reptiles as well? Found out today that you can't even buy 100W bulbs in the UK shops anymore! and on top of that they will only sell energy saving bulbs...

A pearl bulb has like a thin white diffuser layer over the bottom of glass bulb, which I guess dulls and diffuses the light. Should I use a clear bulb and not a pearl bulb so it helps protect his eyes from the UVB? My Exo Terra bulb I am currently using is not clear. Yeah the UK's weather is...

By kind of digi thermometer do you mean brand? if so, they are Exo Terra ones. Well, here in the UK we don't get much sun anyway!!! so hopefully, but can't rely on the weather here :P By the way, what is the best kind of household bulb to buy clear or pearl?

Hi There, Thanks for your response. Yes, I am in the UK :) and my digital thermometer is at the exact height of his elevated basking spot. I thought it was odd too, I will try replacing the Exo Terra basking bulb with an ordinary 150W household bulb and see how it affects the temp. Previously...

Hey All, Currently new to this and need some help and advise. 2 weeks ago I bought a 7 month beardie (named Rex) with a 90cm x 45 cm x 45xm exo terra Viv from a previous owner. The set-up also came with a exo terra starter kit, which used 2x Repti Glo 10.0 compact/coils and 2x 25W Exo Terra...
