Message: [QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 1978531, member: 97951"] Ok so the coil is ok but I do recommend a long tube fixture --- if you decide to change it in the next 5 months please post on here and I can post some good UVB's --- I am not hot on coils seen to many issues w/ them -- the basking temps need the probe placed on the spot he sits for basking that will give you accurate temps -- what are you feeding for insects? The hammock is a good one to cause this issue - its possible he has gotten a nail caught in it and pulled --- the UVB is going to help heal this they are extremely important for all around health -- the hammock is it a green mesh type? If it is I recommend a cloth or a fleece hammock [URL='http://www.pamperbeardies.com']www.pamperbeardies.com[/URL] or [URL='http://www.etsy.com']www.etsy.com[/URL] Info on the coils The 26w version of the UVB150 is similar in output to a T8 tube when using a reflector. The beam isn't as wide (depending on the length of the tube) but the output strength is very similar. If it was sitting about 6-8'' above the main basking area then it was likely providing adequate UVB. It's the lower wattage (13w) versions that cause concern since they aren't strong enough to provide adequate UVB at a safe distance. [/QUOTE]
