uvb

Hi folks, New snake owner here. I wanted to make sure my set up is suitable for my Darwin carpet python. The UVB bulb I purchased doesn’t sit flush in the reflector dome like the basking light does, so I’ve had to add the safety basket onto it - refer to pics. Will the UVB still serve its...

Doing some research and have heard that carpet pythons don’t need UV. Personally have a jungle whose UV bulb broke, looking at maybe getting another one. Just wanna know general opinions?

Hey all. My snake's lights are on their way out and I am wondering if snakes need UV lighting in their enclosure? Can I get a Bunnings light that will do the same/similar job? Currently using Zoo Med Reptisun 22" 10.0UVB. Can I get anything similar at Bunnings for less than $60 for one...

Hello all, I have recently picked up a recently hatched Eastern Long Neck turtle and have a couple of questions. We have set up a basking turtle dock and have a 10% UvB lamp for the tank. If the turtle isn't seen using the basking dock should we be dry docking a couple of times a week? With...

BRAND NEW NEVER OPENED $100 2x 120cm 54w 5.0 UVB tubes by reptisun. I accidentally bought these as t5 when I needed t8 ? Pick up Geebung, QLD Delivery is possible also.

I remember many years ago being told to avoid CFL for turtles because it could damage their eyes, is that still valid info or have they gotten better? Currently I use mercury vapor bulb on the basking spot and a 4 foot reptisun T8 10.0 fluro for the rest of the tank (6 foot tank). I've...

Hi, I'm a humble redneck who raise Ramsayi and Melanocephalus in South Korea. It is not the first time I raise snakes, so I heard snakes don't need UVB lights because they eat their preys whole. What I was curious about is that recent studies and articles here shows that they "DO" needs UVB...

Hey! I'm considering getting myself a blue tongue skink but there's so much conflicting info on care! I had a baby one as a kid (until my mum let him go) & the care seemed so much simpler back then (although I guess I wasn't quite old enough to do my own research). I'm not sure on some of the...

So ATM I'm currently converting an old Balinese cabinet into an enclosure for a GTP. The enclosure dimensions are 800 high X 1000 wide X 600 deep. Any suggestions on where to get a heat panel big enough for the enclosure and the best way to supply UV in the cabinet? All while trying to do it as...

hey guys! Newbie here! I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if Bunnings has any flurescent fixtures suitable for a 10.0 reptisun uvb. A pre wired one would be ever better! I have had a look on their website (all look the same to me) and googled endlessly but to no avail so any help would...

If I use a 5.0 tropical UVB light how close should it be for my blue tongue to get all what she needs?

Hey guys, so long story short I'm getting an enclosure built for me( was getting a custom bed built and figured why not). Anyways it's still being built but ultimately it's 5ft x 4ft x 3ft. It'll be the forever home for my rapidly growing bred little. But my issue currently is. LIGHTING...
