Thanks for that!! I have just been reading some nightmarish reviews on this brand of lighting which has got me totally confused on what to use. :-? Been reading reports that they affect the eyes of the dragon. What are your views on these claims?? How many would I need if I were using the 5.0 or 10.0 Thanks again for your help. :bounce:

Are these a suitabe UVB and UVA light source for a BD??? I have the rest of the lighting sorted but this is doing my head in. If it is suitabe how many watts in a tank 32"x14"x18"?? I am using a daylight basking lamp for day, ceramic lamp for night. Do these need reflectors or not?? Thanks guys, just want to get it right from the start.

No I was not pulling the wool! LOL I meant we live next to the bush and we have flys that will lay eggs on ANYTHING!!!! You cant even leave a jersey on the rails in the height of summer!!! Of course I would culture them on good stuff :bounce: So feeding them YES??????

So is it a yes if they are kept in bran for a few days? Its just we live on a farm and access to maggots in summer is rather easy work

Was just wondering as I have not read any posts on these. Can they safely be given to bearded dragons as live food. If so would you clean them out some how????

Hi All. I am about to get my first dragon soon and need some help on the lighting in the uvb department. I am asking you guys as you are not a pet store trying to make mega bucks out of me! I have a large aquarium I will be using as the enclosure with a well fitting mesh lid and a canopy with 3 fluro bulbs in. I understand the straight UV bulbs that come with the canopy will be fine (yes I know to install new ones every 6 months too) It also has a blueish light in it that was great for bringing out the colours of my trpoicals. I know this is not right for a dragon, can you get a uvb bulb for it and would it be enough or should I get a uvb lamp as well. So far I am getting a basking lamp, be told I also need a ceramic for time time (but am open to suggestions on that, would a heat pad be better?) Also reflectors for these lamps and a thermostat. Was told a fan heat light with UVB would be the best choice (Produces UVA and UVB light, essential for the production of vitamin D3 in reptiles. Provides warm air movement) write up on web site. If so what wattage would I need. Tank is approx 4ft x 1/ 1/2ft by 1 1/2 ft. Thanks all :bounce:
