How long can a bearded dragon go without UVB

[Par0xysm]

To make a long story short, I accidentally got a LED light instead of the UVB ones and I have one ordered. I got the little guy on Thursday but would he be fine for a week until it comes in?

Hello,

He looks very cute there, & he appears alert also! Are you getting
him to eat a lot, too?
I hope your light gets there soon, he will greatly appreciate it!

Not really as he is shedding and he is astaining until the light comes in.

Hello,

I hope your light comes in soon. I hate to see him lose too much
weight! Shedding though does affect the appetite so that could be
some of the loss of appetite also.

He looks cute in the box ---- please post on here when the UVB comes in - we can help you get it placed for the tank -- the screen on your tank will determine placement and distance for the UVB

The screen on the tank is a fine mesh like screen door or a wide hole type?

Fine mesh

Please put it in the tank or take the screen off - you can hang it in the tank w/ some long plastic zip ties - fishing line-- 3 M velcro fasteners or picture wire hangers - distance should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor --

Hello,

Are you going to be mounting the light underneath of the mesh screen top, correct? How is he
doing today?
