Questions
I have a 36x24x24 enclosure for my beardie, is the 85watt ok to use, it’s not going to be over kill? Also do I need to use a lamp dome?
- No I don’t think 85 watts is overkill. You will need a deep dome lamp fixture. Zoo Med has a helpful chart: https://zoomed.com/wp-content/uploads/Choosing-Correct-UVB-Lamp-2018-07.pdf

Does this come with a lamp to screw the bulb in? Or just a bulb?
- The Powersun UV mercury vapor bulb does not come withe the fixture, you will need to purchase the fixture separately. Please make sure to get one with a ceramic socket for the Powersun bulb.

Does this product work as a basking light and a UVB light for a russian tortoise?
- Yes. We use it on our Russian tort. We use a 160 watt bulb, not sure of the wattage on this one.
Helpful?
How long to keep on?
- I would suggest buying and using a red/night light for any animal. To keep their " internal clocks" on a steady schedule. The two outlet timer is also good to have to keep a steady time on the switch between bulbs. Also you wouldn't want to sleep with a bright light shining in your eyes.

What is the best way to heat hedgehog cage with lamp?
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)
i have a adult and baby bearded dragon i. seperate tanks one tank is probably like a 40g and the other one is pretty big not sure of gallon size. what uvb light is best for them. and could it wait a couple weeks until i get paid or is it crucial today
How should you care for your reptile during a power outage?
How can I treat infections under Cooper's scutes?Do I scrub her or soak her because how am I suppose to get the betadine under her scutes if I don't soak her?Also I noticed the heat lamp is making the water warm because I put it in front where the water is.Now I put the heat lamp in the back and the UVB in front buy Cooper still be able to get UVB because the UVB is now in front directly above the water and not her dock?If I move the heat lamp in front it will make the water warm.UVB is the hood
Just wanting to know am I able to use a reptile heat lamp for newborn puppies??
I am about to get a crested gecko and have done lots of research, but am nervous I'll kill my crestie. You see, lots of people have different opinions about additional lighting. 1 breeder said a heat lamp killed many of his crested geckos, while another breeder said it killed her geckos when they DIDNT have a heat lamp. Should I get a heat lamp? (My tank is a 12 by 12 by 18, of that helps at all) Also, should that size tank be good for 1 crested gecko for his entire life?
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina
hi I bought the imagitarium fresh water uv purified water for my betta,s. Is this good water for them and does it have the nutrients they need? thank you
My snake has lumps on his body. He had mites a month ago and I put him in quarantine and treated him twice with Jurassi Mite. Since then I haven't seen any mites. He also recently got a new CHE bulb over his tub. I'm wondering if they are infections from the mites or burns from the bulb. He's 5 years old and I adopted him 2 months ago. Please help.
hi, are snake has been acting rather odd reasently. we redid his tank (new substrate, cleaned the glass and bottom, disinfected the hides/ojects in it) we were putting the light back in but it blew so we could not get a light for atleast two weeks in that two weeks we noticed some odd behavier he kept trying to go for a stall, but he could'nt he kept doing it, so we asumed he was constipated So we got him a new bulb he's stil not eating or going for a stall though can you give advice thank you
Is this a good setup for Nighthawk, the first photo is the over all setup, the second one is the side view and the third is the water and calcium dishes. I use an under tank heater that stays at about 88 degrees Fahrenheit and the vines are fake. He has a warm hide and a cold hide with moss in it that’s i spray down every other day. The little box is another little hide that I can see him in. And the background is tile it paper rolls that were painted(they were left to dry for two weeks)
