Assemble reptile terrarium with assortment of plants, rock dens, and bedding. Place the Slimline Reptile Fixture on top of the terrarium cover. A screen cover with door or center hinge is recommended, as it will allow the beneficial UV rays to reach the terrarium inhabitants easily, while allowing easy access to your reptile. Caution: Do not place fixture in direct contact with water. When mounting under a cabinet or hood, position the light fixture so the tropical lamp will provide maximum exposure of beneficial light to your reptile pets.

Questions
Can the bulb be replaced? I bought this fixture in June and it burnt out in February. Now it seems as though the bulb isn't replaceable because I had to break the cover and I can't get the bulb out.
- Yes you can replace the bulb, not sure why they said you can’t. You just have to turn the bulb until the prongs appear in the opening and then pull it out. It might be a bit difficult with big fingers though. Also, the cover should be able to come off without breaking.

Will I be able to use this for my 7 month old Veiled Chameleon?
- Chameleons need UVB. ZOOMED Repti-safe 5.0 mini fluorescent compact lamp is supposed to be an excellent UVB source for them. Ask your vet, or a vet near you. Hope this helps.

Can the bulb be replaced for T8 5.0 UVB for leopard geckos ?
- Yes it can be replaced by turning it and then pulling it out. You have to remove the plastic lens first.

Can you use this for a crested gecko ??
- Crested geckos are very sensitive to high temperatures, and shouldn’t be exposed to temperatures above 80°F for long, as it can be fatal. While they like their terrarium temperatures around 72-75°F, it’s good to keep a heat gradient in the tank. A small 25w Zilla Mini Halogen Bulb works well to add a little heat to a small area for basking, while not overheating the entire enclosure. While these geckos are crepuscular, meaning out at dusk and dawn, they still absorb small amounts of UVB, so a Zilla Mini Compact Fluorescent UVB Bulbs with the 25w Zilla Mini Halogen Bulb in a Mini Heat & UVB Fixture is a great lighting set up to keep your animal healthy and happy.

Can you use a T5 bulb in this fixture?
- Hi there! No, T8's are recommended for this fixture.

Does this work for plants in the tropical vivarium too or do I need another light for plants.
- Hi there! A proper plant light would be best.

Purchased this yesterday and it worked for 10min and the bulb went out and I had to go purchase a new one already. It seems fine now but the bulb cost me almost as much as buying the whole thing.
- Oh no! We're so sorry to hear about your situation with this light fixture. We'd like to gather additional information from you so we can work out a proper solution. We kindly invite you to reach out to our friendly Consumer Care team at 1-888-255-4527 so we can take care of you properly.

Can this tropical lamp be used for hermit crab habitat?
- Hi there! Yes, it can!

Can this be used for a baby Veiled Chameleon?
- It sure can!

Is this good for corn snakes
- Hi. From my limited info on the subject, I believe that while corn snakes don't need uvb light, it helps with strengthening their immune systems, among other things. I have read that you should place it on the side of the heating mat. If you have a vet you trust, I would also check with them. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

I have a 20 gallon tank for my bearded dragon and I just need to know how many watts of UVB do I need
My red eared slider is not basking even though I brought a uvb light for her just like one of the pet coach vets told me because he has soft shell.I place the light on top of a Zilla screen cover but she still don't get on.I can't really dry dock her because I have a hood for my uvb light.How can I make her to bask and is the Zilla cover okay for her?
Hes hanging out closer to the bottom and hes also lays down with all his legs out but 1. I'm thinking MBD but hes in a screen enclosure, 2 uvb 5.0 bulbs. 1 heat. Crickets always get dusted. He gets plenty of water, and horned worms, plus super worms. Idk what do to I dont want to lose him. I use a multi vitamin aswell.
Hi there. So I am looking into getting a heat dome for my crested gecko. I know they don’t have to have a heat lam but I want him to have a UVB bulb Because it’s good for them. But I am not quite sure that type to get. Any suggestions? I was looking at petco’s tropical combo pack. He lives in a 10 g. With live plant. (I will upgrade when he is bigger) also do you know an age on him? I got him 3 months ago from petsmart. I could tell he was a male a week after I got him. (Pic from yesterday)
If my juvenile slider turtle tank is next to a window, is UBV lighting nessesarry? (This is a wild turtle). And if it is a must, how long can they go without a UBV? (I'm am sending pics so you can see how far the tank is from the window, if you need it)
My turtle shell has some brown spots and some of he corners of his scutes are brown and peeling. His lines on his shell are also brown. He does have a uvb and heat lamp.
I have a turtle I got as a hatchling whose shell has started to curve. I’ve read this could be due to too much protein, too weak of uv/uvb lights, or a combination that makes him grow too fast for the shell to keep up. I’m going to the pet supply store to get a new bulb tomorrow and he eats feeder fish as well as a variety (gold fish food he steals, dry meal worms, pellets from two different brands) of dry foods. How can I help him better?
I have a hood for my UVB light so how can I dry dock my red eared slider?Should I put her in a separate container just without the UVB?I can't put the UVB right on top of her with only 3 inches apart because that's too close.What should I do if she continues to not to bask?Sorry for keep sending questions but I'm just want to give Cooper a better life than before. Thanks.
Since full spectrum growl lights for plants are supposed to mimic natural sunlight (is that correct?) then can I use that for my green anole lizard glass cage and save all that cost for a uvb light? I also have a heating pad for my back I could put under it if need be...?
We have a Sulcata tortoise who is approx 6 mo old. His enclosure is kept at 85° ambient with a basking spot of around 100°, his humidity we try to keep at around 70-80% and he has a few humid places to hide. He has a UVB lamp. We feed him greens, kale, grass, and cucumbers and soak him 1-2 times per day. He has a calcium supplement that we sprinkle on his food a few times a wk. Recently his eyes have been sealed shut. He seems to be able to see somehow but we are very concerned. What can we do?
Can I dry dock my red eared slider in a little container with no water and UVB or heat light provided and turn back the UVB light when I put her back on to the actual tank?Also I only have a UVB Light.Is it necessary to get a heat lamp or any other lamps for Cooper?Please answer all the questions.Thanks.
I was wondering if there are any alternatives for my pet rabbit to get sunlight or UV light without bringing her outside. I want to make sure she gets an sufficient amount of vitamin D even if it is artificial UV light. I'm just concerned of the chance my rabbit is vitamin D deficient and was interested if I should invest in a UVB light bulb for her to compensate for her lack of sunlight.
