The ones that came with the light Iv already removed the plastic covering from them. I also got an email from amazon saying the Zillas got pushed back for whatever reason.
Wait, did you order more Zilla Desert 50 UVB tubes? I thought you said that you ordered new Reptisun 10.0 UVB tubes and that they were already on their way? Don't order new Zilla UVB tubes, they are what caused this problem to begin with!!
I'm totally confused as to what UVB tubes you have ordered, you originally said you "had Reptisuns on their way", and I was under the impression that you had just put new Zilla tubes in your fixtures and those were what had caused the problem (I know you had to remove the clear plastic cover from the Zilla Slimline fixtures, as your dragons got no
UVB light because of them)...
I'm really confused as to why you would have ordered new Zilla Tubes when you said you had Reptisuns on their way. They need a proper and adequate UVB tube, at this point the eye damage is only part of the problem (although as you can see your current Zilla Desert 50 tubes are continuing to cause the eye problem).
Forgetting the eye problem, your dragon has gotten literally no
UVB light at all because of that clear plastic cover being on the Zilla fixture the entire time you've had him, they block 100% of the
UVB light...so you cannot go with the much too weak and eye-damage causing Zilla Desert 50 T8 UVB tube again...you need at the very least an 18" Reptisun 10.0 T* UVB tube to put into the now-uncovered Zilla 18" tube fixture you already have...but better for a dragon who is already suffering from a calcium deficiency is the stronger Reptisun 10.0 T5HO UVB tube and a new fixture for it as well...but I was under the impression that you had at the very least ordered the 18" Reptisun 10.0 T8 tube to put into the Zilla fixture you already have, only because that's what you said...
Totally confused...
