Can someone help me figure this out please?!

The UVB light you want is the ReptiSun 10.0 TUBE- Fish tank lights are completely different, and dont give off UVB. They just look the same.
Before you go to Petco, buy your Reptisun at petmountain.com. They are SO much cheaper than pet stores!

Im not sure about the scale thing though... You didnt rip her shed off, right? It looks like her scales are damaged in some way.

Thank you for the website! =) I'm checking it out right now!

I know better than to pull the shed off =P, big no-no! hehe

Ok, so now we have the UVB light down, which basking bulb would you recommend? I currently have a T-Rex 100w UV Producing heat lamp for the basking spot. I plan to get rid of it because it doesnt seem to get hot enough on the basking spot, it only gets around 99-100 deg. So I would like to get a different one, just I'd like to hear who would recommend what... =)

I just use reg house hold bulbs for heat.

Like a halogen bulb? Or incadescent? (I'm sure I slaughtered the spelling of that word, lol) Cause if I can keep from spending $60 on a heat bulb and I could just run to Home Depot or something and spend $8 on a Halogen, I'll be happy! =P

Any light bulb will do. I use a 50w Halogen light for basking, and a regular 60w for the cool side in my 40g tank. What size viv do you have?

She's currently in a 20L... and a HUGE sigh of relief came over me today, she shed just fine!!! She's back to normal!!!! YAY!

 

[Jess]

Yay! Thats awesome!
When my baby was in a 20L, I had a 65w flood light on him, if that helps.

So here are the after pics, she's nice and healthy looking after the shed
She's SO PRETTY! <3 I love her!

Isn't she looking SO much better?
