I agree! I actually ordered a couple to try on Amazon. If it doesn't make a difference once I plug it in I can at least return them and get my money back. I couldn't find an Arcadia 24" anywhere online. I'm trying a JumpStart with timer and a ZooMed as options. Fingers crossed.

She hides from all of them. And they were all tested with the Solar meter to confirm proper levels.

Through the the test, the bulbs are fine, the UVI is fine, the temps are fine. She is just avoiding artificial UVB. That is why I was thinking maybe it’s making a sound we can’t hear that bothers her.

No I have 1 UVB. We just have been testing them.

The Fixture is a SunBlaster NanoTech T5 HO. The bulbs are an Arcadia D3+ 12% and 14% and a ReptiSun T5 HO 10.0. I can't hear anything but I'm curious if maybe she can.

My BD has recently been majorly avoiding her UVB. Now let me start by saying yes she has seen a vet, yes we have correct lighting and temps, and no she does not have parasites. Basically, I'm curious if the UVB fixture is emitting a sound I can't hear that is bothering her. If I take her...

Her calcium was listed at 47.1. I had to call to get that. I was concerned because she had been avoiding her UVB and hadn’t been eating for a month (she had maybe a 1/8 cup of greens and maybe 15 superworms over the past month). I don’t dust her food with calcium because she won’t eat it. She...

I just got some labs back for my BD and I a, trying to understand them and what each test regards. The main concern is that the vet said she has very high Calcium/D3 levels but I don't see that anywhere. Thanks! HCT 43.0 % WBC 17.0 K/uL LYMPHS 71.0 % MONOS 0.0 % EOS 0.0 % BASO 2.0 % BLOOD PARA...

Yes I checked the Sunblaster post thank you :) But that shows that it wasn’t emitting enough UVB. I almost feel like this bulb is emitting too much.

INTERESTING UPDATE: I took the reflector off of the fixture and she came out of hiding. The UVB is on. She is on the cool side though.

Sorry misread the previous post. The basking light is a 150w Zoomed basking spot lamp. She avoids the UVB all the time.

The fixture is a sun blaster.

Yes I had the 14% Arcadia in and that’s when she started hiding. Then I went down to the 12%. It was fine in the glass tank until I put her in the Zen Habitat. Now she is acting this way. I do have a brand new Reptisun T5 10.0 and 5.0 but I thought the Arcadia was supposed to be better
