You will
need a T5 light fixture also. What are her basking temps and how are you taking them? I and others recommend a Infrared heat gun - they are the most accurate for temps- you can get them at Walmart or Home Depot for around $10- sorry to hear she wont eat dubia roaches as they are better for her and alot easier to take care of- crickets stink and are a hassle -- its good shes not eating meal worms as they are too hard on her digestive system- crickets are her main diet at this point but you need to keep offering her greens like mustard collard green beans squash any kind some fruit like apple mango strawberries blueberries NO citrus-- there is a list for nutrition on the feeding board click on the website link it is most helpful-- once you replace the UVB it needs to go inside the tank about 6-8 inches from her- she would probably like a hide - something for her to crawl under w/ her blanket- I couldnt tell if there was one in there- how big is her tank ?
