What's the difference? ReptiGlo is significantly cheaper, but I've heard people say it's bad... why?
They may be fine but they wont be as healthy as they should be.newbeardiemom19":41da6 said:all the stores use reptiglo and all their lizzards are fine

Sunken eyes is usually a sign of cold or sickness, but I suppose a bad UV light could cause it too. What is the basking spot temperature? It doesn't sound like the ReptiGlo has done much damage, yet. If I were you, I'd definitely get a ReptiSun.threecupsofcoffee":f9ac6 said:Dawnrider,
Thanks for that info that made much more sense to me. excuse me for interupting on this thread, I have a beardy rescue who is in a four foot viv which is 15 inches high, now he is under a reptiglo 10 which runs right across so no hiding from it, so do you think i should try and get a reptisun. His eyes don't look right anyway a bit sunken do you think maybe that might help him? Julie
If you want to get the basking temp down without buying a new bulb, you can get a rheostat. That's what I have; its a little dimmer. Using this little sliding box thing you can dim the light. I have a 50w halogen bulb above my beardies basking spot and I use a rheostat for that.threecupsofcoffee":d0a23 said:it looks like the whole time he's been in this viv with a 100 watt basking bulb with no temperature control whatsoever so your talking exposure to some major temps for the last couple of years or even from the begining 130 +. He's very dark, poor things been cooking your a long time. but he is eating and friendly. I will be altering an awful lot of things to make his life a lot better.
