That's good that you found the Repti-Sun 10.0 tube. Since you have that one, you really don't need the Zilla UVB and there have been some health issues when using those. It's also important that they have an area where there is no UVB so they can escape it if they want so if I were you, I would remove the Zilla entirely.

How is she acting and eating?

You misunderstood me, I meant to remove the Zilla brand UVB, leave the Repti-Sun bulb in. That puts out enough UVB and if it is 6 to 8" from her while she is in her basking spot and you're dusting regularly with the calcium, you shouldn't have to worry about UVB deficiency.

As mentioned, there have been health issues involved with using the Zilla UVB's, some serious, that's why I recommended you remove just THAT bulb.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
