    MVB

    "i would just get a 100watt trex flood or a 100watt megaray. I would also recommend you get a hanging light stand like the one in the link so you can adjust your distances as needed." I actually have stands... i do not rest my lights on the top of the tank.... not comfortable with that. I like...

    MVB

    Can anyone reccomend the correct MVB bulb to use for a 40gallon breader tank? I dont really need it for heat - more so for the UVB. I have a basking bulb for a tightbeam of basking. But i hear that some of the MVB's are better than the coil and such. Its a 40gallon breader - not sure if a...

    Ok.... He has tested a +4 for Coccidia and a +2 for Strongyles. According to the vet.. he did not test positive for anything else. But... i have been doing research on vets in my area and found a good reptile vet that is not to far. My plan was to wait a week and see where the poop is. Today...

    i kind of thought so too.... he was on the albon (not sure of spelling) for 20 days and that did not help. and i have only been giving him one dose of the new meds and not following the 2 doses a day. i am thinking that the vet wanted to treat him aggressively? since the levels are not coming...
