uva and uvb is good for plants.. light in general for that matter is good for plants. did you want to put the compact on the chams cage?or just on the plants in a separate area? because compacts are not good for the chams..they are to tricky to get correct.. number one, they should be...
I'm talking about the incandescent ones they throw off heat like a daylight spot bulb..they have no uvb..i replaced my basking bulb with it..and my temps.are the same..and the light it emits helps the plants.. but as for the radiation..i dont know what kind it emits. thats why i was asking you...
how come no one answered the question? I asked the same one.. he wants to know if it will hurt his cham..he didn"t need to know the fundamentals of uvb lighting..I asked the same thing and I was told you don"t need another light to manage.. but the light I just purchased is a ge plant light...
is he shedding? when my veiled was shedding he would not eat at all..maybe a cricket here and there..now that he stopped shedding..he eats 20 small crickets a day..and won't stop unless I don't give him more.he stopped eating as soon as the shedding started..I was going nuts about it because I...
I am saying replace the regular light with a plant light..the cheap incandescent type of plant light..its regular blue bulb that says plant light on it..its only four dollars.but it is an incandescent so it should throw off heat plus help the plants..
incandescent plant light?

if you have the skills..its best to have a half screen half plexi..meaning plexi front and plexi back..its stronger and easier to keep the temps correct..screen sides and top is plenty air..they have been doing that for years with great results..with parsons,veileds,panthers ect..the reason...
whats with them pheonix worms?they seem to be the best feeder if you ask me why don't more people use them?they pretty easy to keep and are a staple diet..what are pros and cons of them?
that veiled is amazing.he is purely stunning..did he display that orange when he was young? because john street has that same tint of orange as that baby picture you show..that would be awsome if he turned out like that..I vote the parsons.veileds,panthers.but veileds are my favorite because...
what wouldn"t hurt? the aluminum foil or the moving the plants..because the plants are planted and the ficus and the ubrella plant are as high as they are until they grow..
I have an 18" zoo med repti sun 5.0...my fixture is made of plastic..and some of the fixtures I see have a shiney metal reflective coating inside ..would it hurt to line the inside of tube fixture with aluminum foil for better output..because his highest basking area,branches and plants are...
john street is now eating good.so it must have been the shedding..he looks dashing in his new wardrobe..he is chasing his food down like a wild maniac.he's like the terminator he can't be stopped.I hope he keeps it up..now I just need to find pheonix worms and silks..they are hard to find around...
well john streets shedding process is almost complete.he just looks at the crickets I put in the cage.he shows interest then just starts looking at me.I put them on his ficus and watch him to make shure he eats them.but lately he does not chase them down.I am trying to find pheonix worms or...
