Hello,
**Gearbox, are you going to leave her under the Reptiglo 10 tube bulb, or, is that just temporary?
Good to hear that blood tests were normal & so were the fecal tests. She "could" be contemplating going into brumation now then. At least her appetite is good right now.
**jsms2007, all you can do is observe your dragon. Most likely, you wont see any eye problems or anything like that. If anything, he just wont be getting any UVB or very little, but as I have discussed previously I don't know exactly what your light will be. There have been a lot of inconsistencies with these bulbs. You might have lucked out & gotten one with good UVB output, or, you might have gotten one with poor output. The only way to know is to try to get it tested. If you find that your dragon just stops basking, or becomes less & less active with a marked decrease in appetite, that would be a major sign that the light was not putting out much if any UVB lighting. If for any reason your dragon begins squinting or avoiding the light altogether, simply turn off the light & replace it with just a plain bright white flood or spot light for basking. Then, you will need to purchase another UVB light source.
