Hi Tracie! Yes I feel so stupid I had no idea that the coil light was bad for him! When he was younger I had brought him to vet for well visit and his set up was always said to be sufficient. Ugh. He is doing absolutely fine aside from the random flipping over. He seems happy, eating well, not...

Okay thank you! The 10.0 will come Friday and the fixture with 5.0 will be here Wednesday so I can get him started with that.

Okay got it! I can’t believe I didn’t know that coils were bad!! I just placed an order for a reptisun hood and bulb combo. It says it’s 24” and t5 and will be here Wednesday. It is a 5.0 t5 .. should it be the 10.0? At this point I will return whatever is wrong but just wanted to have options ASAP.

THANK YOU so so much! I will stick with the amazon order and post as soon as I get it. Unfortunately I think it might be rainy the rest of the week but I will put him out if it is warm enough and not raining.

I can pick up the 17w from PetSmart today but it doesn’t look like they have a fixture to work for it. Do you know what fixture would work from Amazon? I can cancel my amazon order for the other bulb if the PetSmart one is better. This is the fixture I got for the amazon bulb .. would it also...

OMG. Thank you for your quick responses you have no idea how grateful I am!!! This is what my pet store has, is it correct? I would get the 17w? https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/environmental-control-and-lighting/bulbs-and-lamps/zoo-med-reptisun-10.0-uvb-reptile-lamp-14822.html

Thank you for responding! I have used a reptisun bulb that was placed about 6 inches from where he basks most of his day. I just realized it has been quite a while since I changed his bulb so I ran and got a new one. While in the petstore I wondered if I should switch to a long tube type of uvb...

Help! I have a 7 year old male bearded dragon. He has never had any concerning behaviors... until now. The last 5 days he has fallen onto his back once a day. He is eating and drinking normally, doesn’t seem lethargic and doesn’t appear to have any issues, other than this is an obvious issue...
