Sorry.. Corrected to note the uvb was a 5.0 repti in new fixture

Thanks for your quick and knowledgeable reply as always. It's a single reflector. I have to leave town for five days and have a friend coming to take care him so I think I'll leave old setup until I'm back then redo it and give him time. Was just making sure I wasn't harming him by overdosing...

A lil backround on setup. Was using a T8 fixture with a 10.0 reptisun bulb along with a separate jungle dawn led plant light. All seemed fine. Wanted to find a single dual bulb solution and found a "aquasun" t5 ho dual fixture. Put in a 6500 plant bulb and a repti t5 5.0 ho bulb. After putting...

Sorry, I'm in Fla. Also, you use both. These are just daylight bulbs.

If you do decide on the jungle dawn led.. I have the 34" that I'm not using and will sell at big discount. Reach out if interested

Pretty much what I expected but wanted a lil confirmation of my plans. Thanks for the input.

Hiya, so I happened to see Virgil have a bowel movement today and it started out normal followed by very very loose stool, nearly water. I did see him drinking like crazy yesterday. I'm not gonna freak over one bit of diarrhea but just checking to see if maybe I should. The more normal part that...

Do you find their behavior to change just before a shed? I have found that to be the case with my 7 month old. Just seems to act a bit weird the day or two before.

Actually I don't think it was head first... In fact, after all that time, the part out of his mouth was wiggling but the part near his mouth was turning black. When I pulled it out, what came out of his mouth had turned all black. Weird

I'm gonna watch him closely that he eats crickets in next cpl days. Wish I would have posted this BEFORE I fed him the worm.. I'm sure he's ok. The worm came out of his mouth pretty easy.

He let me take it from him. He'll eat some crix today and I'll get smaller hornworms for him.

Yeah, it's STILL half way out of his mouth. Not sure he can manage it. Might see if he will let me take out..

So I just got a few hornworm and they are pretty damned large. My male Panther is about 8 months old. I put the worm on a branch and I guess those worm feet are really sticky strong. He went right for it and couldn't pull it off the branch using his tongue. I ended up just cup feeding it. He was...

So I'm about to give up on live plants as I can't seem to control the "knat" problem. I've done some reading and tried some stuff such as layering play sand and rocks but nothing seems to be helping. Any advice needed as I really prefer to have live plants for my guy. Thanks in advance.

My guy totally exposed, front of cage lit up as well lately.
