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.

I have a 20 gallon tank for my bearded dragon and I just need to know how many watts of UVB do I need
What is the best way to heat hedgehog cage with lamp?
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.
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...?
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)
Is it safe to use a uv reptile heat lamp for newborn puppies??
My bearded dragons heat lamp just burnt out - I don’t have a replacement and all of the local reptile/pet stores are closed for the night. What do I do to keep him safe until tomorrow when I can get him a new light?
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.
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.
Is it safe to buy a UV Sterilizer Green killer filter for my turtles? The water gets dirty really fast and I've pretty much tried everything, but the algae keeps growing fast. The problem is that I've seen a lot of negative reviews on that filter, saying that it got their fish killed. Now, I've done some research on that and found out that that UV lights could damage both animals and humans, however the very few reviews that were written by turtle owners were positive. Is it totally safe?
What kind of lighting does a red eared slider need, I tried to look it up online but I get confused with all the types of lights... Please help!!!!!!!
