uvb

So I'm wondering what's actually wrong with them. I'm planning on getting tube uvb but I will not be able to purchase one for at least a month as my post office is on strike. I have a pet store near me that sells coil uvb but not tube uvb. I'm wondering if it would work for now? it's too cold to...

Looking to buy a temporary UVB bulb (since I can't afford tube atm) and wondering if the zoo med 10% compact fluorescent bulbs or the reptizoo compact flourescent 10% spiral bulbs are better?

Hello yall! I'm new here and I need some advice Currently I can't afford a tube uvb (150$+) as I just blew 700$+ on my new beardie, so I'm wondering if a coil uvb (REPTIZOO Lamps UVB Bulb Spiral Compact 15 Watts UVB 10.0 Reptile Light) would work temporarily? (about a year) I heard the only...

I set up my new dragon's enclosure with the Arcadia Lumenize setup for the LED and UV. The LED goes on nice and gradually as it should - 0% at 7:15am and 100% by 8:15am. However my UV bar is programmed to go from 0% at 7:30 to 100% by 8:30 and for some reason when it goes on at 7:30 it seems to...

I managed to find an uncombined UVB bulb, it's a coil (I think). I know the bar ones are better but this is the best one available in the country currently (you can't buy the bar ones here, I'm getting one imported in December) what level of uvb in uW/cm² should a beardie be having? he's around...

hi, I'm a new owner and I'm setting up my Beardie enclosure lamps. I bought a UVA basking bulb, but the only available UVB bulbs are combined UVA and UVB. the store owner said that one combined bulb would be all I need for my beardie, but I'm worried it won't have sufficient UVB output for the...

We had a huge storm in north Texas the other day and my place lost power. I wasn't worried about my beardie since I know she can go a day without her lights, but the outage looks like it might last into the weekend. I've relocated to a family member's house since I need wifi for work, but I...

To make a long story short, I accidentally got a LED light instead of the UVB ones and I have one ordered. I got the little guy on Thursday but would he be fine for a week until it comes in?

So, just now, my compact UVB bulb broke. It made a short buzzing sound then randomly stopped working. Luckily, I had ordered a linear 10.0 UVB light, but the only con is that it comes either Saturday or Sunday. So I'm wondering can my bearded dragon survive until then?

I recently inherited a beardie (my first) and got her a new, bigger tank (48"x24"x18"). Her substrate is a mixture of Jurassic desert sand/topsoil/excavator clay. She has a 75w Zoo Med basking bulb over her basking spot and a Reptisun T5 HO 10.0 bar with a deep heat projector bulb for...

I see there is a 14% Beardie, a 12% Desert, and the 6% Forest. I would assume the 12% Desert would be a good fit but seeing as I am going to put in on TOP of the mesh, maybe I should get the stronger one? Let me know what you guys think. Also, I am just going to foster a beard for a couple of...

I mpunted my uvb light inside its about 9 inches to where he is sitting in the photo is this to close?

I have two coil UVB bulbs right now. I bought that as a quick and cheap way to get my new beardies bus UVB until I can research exactly what he needs. I didn’t want to buy expensive lighting before I knew which are correct. He is a rescue and I am a first time owner. I know and understand that...

I bought a 34" 5.0 UVB bulb for my 3' T5 HO fixture by mistake. Is it possible to supplement this bulb with a smaller 23W 10.0 UVB bulb? Will this safely provide adequate UVB? I would like to put the smaller bulb on top of the screen, if possible. This is a 120 gallon enclosure (4x2x2, metal...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I’ve had my beardie Chester for soon to be 6 years. I am looking to upgrade my entire set up, and most importantly my UVB set-up. I’m looking at a 34in 39W reptisun 10.0 T5 HO. I can’t seem to find any fixtures for this length of bulb. Does anyone...

Hi everyone! I changed up my setup yesterday from a 125W Solar Glo (do not recommend!!) to a 100W Basking light (Zoo med) and the Zoo Med T5 10.0. The T5 sits above some mesh about 8-10 inches above the basking spot and 18 inch above the floor. This is the first time since I got my bearded...

Hi everyone! I just joined this forum! I adopted my bearded dragon Henry about a month ago. I have zero experience with reptiles so I am freaking out. Henry came from a house where he was severely neglected and was loaded with parasites. He was never really handled but crazy enough is really...

I have gone down a rabbit hole or research on trying to replicate natural sunlight spectrum (UV, visible, IR). Along with this, trying to mimic sunrise and sunset. Meaning gradually changing temps and UVI throughout the day, to mimic the natural changes experienced in the Australian Outback...

Hi, Was hoping someone could let me know if I'm reading it correctly. Seems like the UVI Index is 2 - correct me if I'm wrong but for bearded dragons it's supposed to be between 2.9 - 7.4? My UVB is Arcadia 12% t5 and is 14cm/5.5 inches from basking spot with wide mesh holes as pictured...

Hey all, I'm new here but I've relied on this forum and its resources for a while in preparation of getting my own dragon. I'm having a bit of an issue that is probably simply just faulty bulbs but I figured it's best to ask. I've been using an Arcadia 34" 12% Desert bulb in a 36" Arcadia...
