Any thoughts on these products?

Fresh is best -- pellets can lead to dehydration - w/ the fresh salads rinsed before serving is going to help w/ getting water to him - if your using any kind of coils for a UVB they are inadequate for his needs - the UVB helps absorb and synthesize the calcium hes getting which is extremely important to his growth as a baby - you want a solid clear bright white basking bulb - no colored bulbs no off white or yellowish bulbs - long tube fixtures for UVB's - we can recommend some of those if you like -- you want surface basking temps of 105-110 for now taken w/ a digital probe thermometer they are the most accurate

Do you have a recommendation for the lgiht bulb?

 

[KarrieRee]

Basking bulbs are trial and error --- start w/ 100 watt and go from there but you must have a digital probe thermometer to get accurate basking temps--- the T 5 UVB is a 24 watt long tube fixture please google it you want a Reptisun 10.0 t 5 or a Arcadia 24 watt which is a 12% bulb -- you need a fixture or hood that it goes in for the reflector that is really important

Flukers Exo Terra Intense Zoo Med Repti basking or Arcadia Halogen are all good basking bulbs

Can't see uvb what are you using brand and bulb and the basking bulb brand and bulb - you need two digital probe thermometers as soon as possible- surface basking temps are extremely important

Nice use of the big log and also A + on not having a very tall tank to start out with for a baby. The Hakari pellets are O.K as part of the diet, you can soak them first.

Hello,

Since you are in the Philippines, you should be able to get
a decent tube bulb. Reptisun 10 T8 long tube should be easier
to find than Arcadia, but, not sure. Or, you can always order it
online, too if possible. Outdoor time is always beneficial also if
you have time but you always need to keep a close watch over
them & never leave them unattended.
He is very cute. How is the shedding coming along?

Hpw long should i should UVB light on?

 

[KarrieRee]

Hpw long should i should UVB light on?

You should have a photo period of 12 hrs on and 12 hrs off -- for your basking and your UVB -- no lights on at night -- they like cool and dark to sleep-- temps at night should be 65-75
