Hi everyone, I'm new here and was hoping I could get some advice.
My baby, Spyro (5yr old female beardie) has recently seemed off and lethargic. She just hasn't been herself and has had a lot of trouble catching food herself.
Just yesterday I took her to the vet and the doctor told me that she may be getting the early onsets of cataracts. He's referred me to a specialist on reptiles, which I'm going to in a few days.
Anyway, what I'm really asking is for suggestions on lighting. Spyro currently has 3 lights above the mesh lid to her 40 gallon enclosure. She has her 100w basking light, her 15w UVB and finally her 75w purple light I keep on at night. The 2 latter lights are kept on from 8am-7pm.
I need to know what I'm doing wrong or if there are any other brands (Repzilla/ZooMed) lights that I should buy or be wary of. Please, Spyro means the world to me and I just want her to be okay ❤
