I'm planning to upgrading the tank to an Exo Terra large/low. I'm currently using this bulb here:KarrieRee":p0n97ibq said:So the UVB is a coil? You need to describe the UVB ----- what you should have for a UVB is a Reptisun 10.0 TUBE no coil - how big is the tank and do you plan on upgrading ? The tank looks like a 30 gallon or so --- you need floor space for your dragon not height --- but you need to get a decent UVB first --- I would get a 24" fixture that way it will go right into your next tank --- you can look on Amazon or you can look here for a fixture -- they have one for $32 and it has a reflector - you want a fixture w/ a reflector--- http://www.pangeareptiles.com - they are fast and good - you need to get the TUBE bulb T 5 -- the T 5 will sit on top of the tank and distance needs to be 12-15 inches w/ no screen on the tank - if you go w/ a T 8 it will need to go inside the tank approx 6-8 inches from basking decor --

Ok! I'll look in Amazon to find out. I will change the UVB ASAP. I can take him outside in the evenings. Will that work as it's not that sunny compared to 12 o'clock noon.KarrieRee":3cfajw88 said:amazon.com--- look there -- you can also look at sunblaster fixtures - not sure if they ship overseas --- dont know much about getting stuff over seas - some others on here would but as long as your using that coil bulb he will continue same behavior so I would look at getting this stuff changed out ASAP-- the UVB first --- if it is sunny and warm where you are take him outside for 15 minutes direct sunlight in a plastic container no metal let him sun that will give him approx 4 hrs of UVB ---
