Burn???

[Djturna4thakidz]

I noticed that my 8 mo old panther had different coloration along his spine than before. All I could think of is burn but he only has a 25watt heat bulb. If it is a burn, Could the arcadia t5 6% be causing it. I keep a close eye on all my chams and just noticed this was out of the ordinary and wanted to see what everyone had to say. Thanks

The more I look at how it is developing, it looks like it may be the early signs of a shed since it is pealing a bit but any input would be awesome.

Yes, I think it is a shed too.

How close do you have the Arcadia lights? I love my arcadia lights but place them such that my Cham can not get too close.

Out of interest how close do you call to close with the Arcadia lights?

6-8 inches

6-8 inches

8 inches Carnt be to close the lower % for instance don't project UVB much further than 12-18 inches

My Arcadia lights are at least 12" away from the closest my cham can get. I measured with a solar meter 6.2 and the range was 65 to 75. A new reptisun measures about 50. I go on the safe side. Also unlike the reptisun bulbs, the arcadia get hot.

Really? I had no idea there that affective at that distance, I also use the t5s so I will be checking the distance when I'm home, I've never had a problem but better to be safe than sorry
