So we got some free items with our new tank. It came with a tube fixture. Not sure the brand but the bulb says its a F15 T8/ WW. What the hell is it. Can I use it.? A preliminary search says its a tropical uvb. Can I still use it.?

Ok so I would not use it --- you dont know how old it is and its not from a good reputable company- and no you dont want a tropical bulb- you can use the Reptisuns 5.0 bulb that comes w/ the Zoo Med fixture as they are for tropical tanks but they have certain distance and placement --- and then you would want to replace it w/ the 10.0 bulb as they are for desert animals ---

So I should just get a new bulb and put it in the fixture.? The guy said he hasn't had it long, he moved and had to rehome the snake and tank he had.

Where can I get the bulb for our current fixture that'll fit.?

You dont want a 5.0 bulb this is for fish aquariums ---- you need the 10.0 bulb-- stay w/ either a Reptisun or a Arcadia they are the best bulbs on the market now ---
Like this one.? I'm currently looking on Amazon and can't seem to find much.

Beings it housed a snake, i would sanitize the crap outta the tank. ZooMeds wipe out is good, it's ammonia based, the f10 that Karrieree recommends, or chlorhexidine would be good, you can get that at tractor supply. The chlorhexidine and ammonia are the only thing i have been able to find that will kill Coccidia. Be sure to rinse down after cleaning if you use ammonia.

Petco said I can also do hot water with a splash of peroxide. That on top of the zoo med should be good, right.?

Not recommended----- please order it from Pangea or look at Pet Smart if you have one or order it from Pet Smart --- they are the best on the market -- cant stress this enough -- The Wipe Out will work for cleaner but I always recommend the F 10 --- its a concentrate and will kill about everything - there is no smell -- I use it a lot to disinfect my tanks after the dragons poop --

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
