I ended up with a fixture that has no reflector — don’t recall the name of it. I am going to try making a reflector with cardboard and reflective tape. I don’t think she is doing well at all. Her head and front legs are whitish and she is so sluggish. She is not eating well and she seems to not...

So, I got my Dartamien’s t5 slim fuxture and t5 HO 10.0 Zoomed bulb. I installed them under the mesh top where he other lighYa sit. Then, I realized the fixture doesn’t have a reflector! I had a tin one from an old light set up that I stuck under the fixture, over the bulb. Doesn’t seem to be...

That’s a great idea. I have a regular bulb in a dome on a stand that she will use when she’s out but the MVB will be bette — and for the money, I will be happy to get more use from it!!

Hi! I love this forum — everyone is so helpful! Thank you for the replies. I have fallen for this little lizard and I want to be sure she is getting what she needs to be happy and healthy. It’s a tremendous responsibility to have her depend entirely on me for so much. I had no clue how much it...

Thanks for your response. It’s kind of a process trying to keep the basking temp around 103 but I think I’ve worked it out, using a 53 watt light bulb on a slight angle along with the MVB. Seems to be holding steady at 103 after an hour.

Hi all. I’m waiting for delivery if t5 10.0 bulb and fixture so for the interim, I got a MVB 100 watt. Does this go on top of the screen or should it not be impeded by screen at about 12”? I don’t have much info on MVBs and will only be using it for about one week. Thanks for any expert info!

Thanks so much for the replies! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something that might mean it wouldn’t work. I have just enough info to make me confused about fluorescence. LOL

Can anyone tell me if I can use a t5 grow-light fixture for my t5 HO repti sun 22”? I cannot find any other fixtures suitable for mounting under the screen. I’m going crazy! Lol thanks anyone!!

thank you for the info about securing the light inside! I was wondering if ties would work. That’s what I’ll do. Does anyone know about the fixture for grow lights? I’m assuming a grow light fixture is the same as a regular fixture if you replace the bulb. ?? But I’m kinda not comfortable...

I really want to make something like this!! I don’t think I can do a corner though, so our Dart’s will need to be rectangular. Thanks for all the pics and info. This is so cool!!
