Ok good on the temps.So you returned the bulb aand the dome?Well the megaray is a much better bulb only problem is the 10 inch dome isnt really going to work with it because the megaray is a much bigger bulb and really does need the deep dome if your going to rest it on the screen.The powersun didnt cause the eye issue trust me on this,the eye issue is a thing called photokeratitis which is cause by coil uvb.What happens is their eyes become fixed and cant dialate correctly because of the light frequency these bulbs give off which then allows way too much uvb rays to enter their eyes causing further damage.The reason why you didnt see it before is because your uvb bulbs were no longer emitting decent uvb so his eyes were not getting as irritated.This would have happened no matter which uvb or MVB you chose.I am sorry because I feel partly responsible for not telling you to leave him uvb free for a few days but I didnt realize his eyes were affected by them.You are still better off getting the megaray especially because as I said there are signs of MBD already and there is no better bulb for this and for growth then a Megaray.To answer your original question he can still grow up until 18 months of age and yes there room for growth in him once he is healthy.BTW I wouldnt say he is brumation because I think this lethargy is a result of lack of enough UVB,I have a feeling once his eyes are better and you get the megaray on his he may bounce right out of this.MikeN":11935 said:Yes, they are pretty much the same regardless, as I am using that stick-on pad again. Believe it or not, I just returned both the dome and the Powersun to Petco and am thinking of buying the reptileuv MLB... The dome I bought originally was too deep and therefore too focused, which may have contributed to this eye problem. I now have a simple Fluker's 10" dome, just need the bulb. Also, the cashier told me there are eye drops for beardies (?) for this exact situation, but I didn't see any at the store. Anything that you know of? Also - getting back to my original question that started all this - will Leo be able to grow again once he's out of brumation, given his size and age?
