Uvb? Brand and bulb? Please NO COILS -- they are a health hazard - surface basking temps? How are you taking them? Stick ons are inaccurateMy son’s bearded dragon is wobbly and acting drunk. He has lost coordination just since yesterday. He’s not wanting to eat anything. What could be wrong??
Uvb? Brand and bulb? Please NO COILS -- they are a health hazard - surface basking temps? How are you taking them? Stick ons are inaccurate
Please look at the bulb in the fixture and tell me if its a T 5 or a T 8 - I am thinking it is a T 5 but I want to be sure - looks like a Zoo Med hood --- how old is the UVB bulb they expiration dates on them as far as the T 5 and T 8 bulb -- basking temps would not effect the mobility issue but the UVB would--
Can you please ask and find out? Have y’all thought about taking the beardie to a vet?I’m not sure of brands. This is my almost 18 yr old son’s pet. I have not purchased anything
The bulb we have is the t5HO 39W, its brand is reptisun. I’ll ask my son how old the bulbs are.Please look at the bulb in the fixture and tell me if its a T 5 or a T 8 - I am thinking it is a T 5 but I want to be sure - looks like a Zoo Med hood --- how old is the UVB bulb they expiration dates on them as far as the T 5 and T 8 bulb -- basking temps would not effect the mobility issue but the UVB would--
Ok so what he told me isn’t true apparently. He said “he thought it was” I’m SO FRUSTRATED. I’ve been off work with shoulder surgery so money is non existent. PLUS it’s over an hour to an exotic vet. I just don’t want the little guy to suffer.Can you please ask and find out? Have y’all thought about taking the beardie to a vet?
UVB seems good but there’s no telling without knowing how old it is. What is the beardie fed? Can I see a picture of the basking light kinda like you did the uvb? If you have a tape measurer please measure how far away the lights are from the basking platform. Basking bulb should be atleast 6in and the UVB should be atleast 12in. Can you also measure the LxWxH of the tank?Ok so what he told me isn’t true apparently. He said “he thought it was” I’m SO FRUSTRATED.

Need to know how old the uvb is- not over a year- please get the distance of the uvb 8-10 inches directly above the basking decor piece- it's on a wide hole screen - so it can stay on top iam thinking the bulb is expiredOk so what he told me isn’t true apparently.

He is two in April. He eats mustard greens, collard greens, & Dubia. He occasionally gets peppers and hornworms. Basking is 7 inches.

How is he measuring the heat? I’d recommend to him getting a flukers basking bulb or something halogen but if that bulb works good that’s fine. Basking needs to be 95-100.He is two in April.

So that is a coil please get rid of it and get a solid clear bright white basking bulb as mentioned above-- you want surface basking temps of 95-100 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- still need to know how old the UVB bulb is - you can also get exo Terra intense or a Arcadia halogen- if the uvb bulb is over 11 months please change it out asapHow is he measuring the heat?
