UVB help

K so nobody where I am sells reptisun 10.0 well in the size I want can I use the reptiglo 10.0 fluorescent tube

You can but be aware that the reptiglo can burn the retinas of some dragons. I've used them with no issues but other people have had dragons nearly go blind after just a few days. I recommend ordering the reptisun online http://www.petmountain.com/product/fluorescent-bulbs/11442-504983/zoo-med-reptisun-10-0-uvb-bulb.html

Well I can only either trade the repti glo in for a reptisun or use it

 

[Gail]

Personally, I would go with the reptisun if you have that option. I only use the reptiglo as a absolute last choice.

You can get any size reptisun on amazon... thats where i bought my bulb and matching fixture.

the only problem is that my mom wont buy me one becaus ei have a not used reptiglo 10.0 flourecent tube right here and i dont have the money right now but im seeing if a pet store will trade in with me for it idk i will figure something out

You can usually bring the bulb back to the store as a return if it was purchased recently. The crappy part is that they will probably throw it out even if it's unused but that's policy. You should be able to get your money back. As another poster said, they will either bother the dragon's eyes or work out just fine. My store only sells Reptiglo and I always mention the Reptisun but say the Reptiglo is okay as long as you keep an eye on your dragon's eyes.

Yeah I am returning it but I don't know where to get a cheap fixture

 

[RioReptiles]

What size is it? What is the difference in price where you are returning it?

 

[Gail]

Check wallmart for a cheap fixture. They have 18" and 24" fixtures for around $10.
