UVB light and light fixture needed. Beardie hasn't had UVB.

[amlee]

I just got a year-old beardie that has not been getting proper UVB.

I want to get the Reptisun 10.0, but I really need help on wattage suggestions. I also need a fixture and am wondering what to buy and where to buy it?

Is PetMountain the best place? I need to order this stuff ASAP, because I think that my beardie has been suffering without it. I have him out in the sun right now.

Does anyone have any specific brand or product recommendations?

Thank you.

We don't really look at a UVB light by it's wattage. You go by the size. You can get a fluorescent tube fixture at Wal-Mart with a built in switch for like $20. The fixture should be at least half the length of your viv and your dragon should be able to get within 4-8 inches of it. Once you've chosen the size of your fixture buy a Reptisun 10 that is the right size for that fixture. Yes pet mountain is the best place to buy the bulb itself if you live in the states.

Walmart has the 24" fixture (Lights of America) remove the lens.
Lowes, and Home Depot have the single and double flor fixture for $9.99- single and $29.99-double.
Just make sure you get the non assembled if you aren't sure how to put one together !
Hope this helps out !

Oh, with the double you can also add a full spectrum bright flo with the Sun for extra lighting!
