Hello everyone,
I have a rescue beardie thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=91221&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=45, about my new girl Bella, but I'm playing around with her lighting because she poops her butterworm/phoenix worms out whole. Temps have been good, etc, but I'll copy/paste a question below that I had in her thread:
(Things are going well, but I'm trying different lighting, which is proving interesting. I've always used MVB, but Bella's tank is not quite 40 gallon, so I'm using Repti-sun 10 and a 100W basking, which has really brought out her colors. However, I'm going away for Thanksgiving and am bringing Bella with me, so I'm using a power sun, being careful of temps, testing and raising the light to accomodate, and Bella's color has darkened, not the vibrant orange/red she has had. (Just didn't want to bring all the lighting, etc. with me while traveling.) Also, was trying different lights to see if Bella would digest the worms better. Has anyone experienced darkening with the MVB's or anyone have any thoughts to share about this? I have used the Mega ray, powersun,(with my boys) and Reptisun 10, and the Reptisun brings out the best colors, does this sound right? Lighting has always been a challenge)
That's what I posted, I certainly like the reptisun 10 the best which brings out her beautiful color, but I can't figure out why she's not digesting all her food, any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank-you,
