Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 5
Last time I checked they didn't have T 5, that's why I ordered one online. Anyway I am pretty sure the T 5 fixture shorted out.
ok well its always good to have a back up bulb -- I always keep 2 on hand as I have two tanks and change those bulbs out every 10-11 months- I have gotten dud bulbs - I use both the Reptisun and the Arcadia bulbs

Yeah, next time I will. I still have to return the malfunctioned fixture and get a new one.

Hello,

I hope you are able to get another fixture soon. It seems that so many of
the lighting & electrical items break easily. There needs to be more good
quality ones on the market.
How is Nova doing now?

Yeah really!
He's ok I think? Not looking like he was last weak where he was shaking and gagging.

Hello,

That is terrific to hear he is getting stronger. It does take them
awhile to recover. Keep us updated on his progress!

Tracie
Hello, so the next fixture is still delayed and Nova seemed to get better and then worse and then better each day! I hope the new fixture works this time and that the uv light wasn't damaged by the bad fixture.

Hello,

Yes, as Karrie stated, your light fixture will fit the 22" bulb, no problem at all!
How are things going with Nova?

Tracie
Hello, thats good. The fixture is said to be arriving tomorrow.
He's stable but I think he has mouth rot now unfortunately. Theres a strange black patch on his gums.

either she really likes me, or shes hungry
I can’t wait to see Dr.Wilson be a big dragon but I try to cherish hard the moments while he still fits in my hand 🦎
It’s been a month since I’ve joined bd.org! It feels like it’s been longer than that, but I’m glad I’m here and apart of this lovely community!
I can feel her staring into my soul demanding food
She was having a staring contest with a mealworm. I guess I never taught her to not play with her food, lol.
