CFL's stands for compact fluorescent light bulbs, its the type of bulb, not the content. They contain some mercury, generate little heat and can generate UVC as well as abnormally short-wave versions of UVB and UVA that are harmful for reptiles. UVC is harmful, it is short-wavelength radiation...

I will definitely get rid of them !! That's terrible though, why do they keep making them if they're so terrible or not improving them at least? The average consumer such as myself would not know unless we consult groups such as this one.

Hi Tracie, The Zilla desert 50 was just a secondary bulb i was using for some extra UV. Hes always had a reptisun 10.0 T5 in there but he doesn't hang out under it, he's more against the wall where that secondary bulb was. I removed it though because I've seen some threads advising against...

My little sugar boo pooped this morning and there was definitely some old stuff in there. For the most part it was jiggly and squishy (baby food) but there was a part that was harder, not hard per say, but fibrous and dark. I had to dig in it (pretty gross first thing in the morning, lol) but...

His tank is 24 inches high and he's hanging by the upper part of the wall so he's pretty much within the needed range. I called again his vet but she's working the evening/ night shift for emergencies. I made it clear that she can call me back at any time. I'll see what she says and will take...

He just likes to climb on the back wall near his basking light which is not under is UV tube (its a zoo med 10.0 is that a good brand?). The tube lamp is more in the middle of the tank. I attached another pic of where he hangs out and where his UV tube is...does it look good? So the Zilla 50...

I took out the coil bulb its a Zilla 20 watt desert 50. So I have a reflective light fixture for the T5, is he getting sufficient UVA UVB even if he's not directly under it? I think I will take him back to the vet tomorrow afternoon I'm just so worried about him.

Its a second UVA/ UVB, he hangs around under it when he takes breaks from basking under his heat bulb. He has a 22 inch T5H towards the front of the tank but he never hangs out in that area, which is why I have a second cooler area with UVA/UVB( doesn't generate much heat but its warm) ...

Hi Tracie, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I suspect that it's been there since he stopped eating solids back in February. I only found out about the lump three weeks ago, when I went to visit the first vet but I thought that he was going into brumation as it gets pretty cold where I...

Hello everyone, I really need some advice and reassurance. I have a strong and rather healthy 10 month old bearded dragon by the name of Twix. I owned a few Rankin dragons in the past so I am quite familiar with their needs (heating, husbandry etc.. I'll get into the details of his set up in a...
