Okay, It's toilet paper because I don't have paper towels atm. I know its really bad is there any other bedding I could use? I have no idea how old the bulb is, got it from a former reptile keeper, brand is thorn em. (thats all i could see) and where on the bulb do I check that

On the bulb itself- look for the brand and the bulb - T 5 or T 8-- these bulbs have expiration dates- you can use some textured NON adhesive shelf liner found at your local home improvement store cut to the size of the tank-- how big is the tank?

Wow, the light is reflecting very brightly in the tank, is there aluminum foil around the edges or just the reflection from the glass ? It looks like you need a larger enclosure and a basking log for Pearl, and you forgot the picture of Pearl.
Some good veggies are kale, greens like turnip, mustard, collard, arugula, snap peas, green beans, a little bit of grated squash.

Okay so the guys thing had piece of wood in the back then foil and then glass. Is the foil a bad thing? Here ya go:

Ok the roaches are fine - please get a new fixture for your uvb- the foil is acting as a reflector which is what you need but I would invest in a new fixture-- there are 3 recommended on this forum- I can post them in the morning-

If that's foil around the bottom of the glass it's best to take it out ASAP, the glare would bother Pearl's eyes.

When you get the UVB please post back on here so I can help you get it placed for the tank -- screens determine placement and distance -- these bulbs need to be changed out in approx 10-11 months for good UVB rays unless your using a solar meter a good one to give accurate readings of the UVI
