Yes, you recommended the 12” to me in a different post and your concern is actually why I brought the bulb up! I appreciate that. I plan on either getting the 5.0 or putting his basking and higher climbing points 12” distance from it.
24x24x48 reptibreezeYou probably said this on another thread but how big is your enclosure?
Thanks. Man sounds like I just need to ditch the 10.0. Come to think of it I’ve only been using it for 3 months and never had any issues with him with the 5.0, dang reptarium store recommended 10.0 when I went to replace.Make sure you are measuring the temps and not the distance. 12 inches is pretty far and they need the heat from basking for a number of functions including digestion. 5.0 and about 7 inches should be good with a tall enough cage and plenty if light/temp gradients.
I take him out 2 times a week for our happy hour in the Texas sun. He loves being outside, id love to get a ficus there for him to just chill instead of it being with me on the outdoor couchThanks.

Alright buying meow! As I have until Monday and amazon be cheaperDont sorry the EXACT same thing happened to me a few months ago my girl had an edema and was missing some feeders because the dude at the reptile store he sold me on a 10.0 bc my girl doesn't get outside much. I swapped quick and the edema went away and shes nailing feeders again.
So what’s the skinny on rep cal w/d3 then? I just got REPTI CALCIUM without d3 to use every other feedingX and plan on the with d3 every other week. We go outside at minimum once a week, I’m wondering if there is another supplement I’m missing or if this and proper lighting will suffice.

I appreciate your recommendations and will look into replacing the repcal I am and have been currently using with something not as intense when it comes to the supplement.D3 dosages:
RepCal D3+ 400,000 IU/kg
Flukers Reptacalcium 100,000 IU/lb
Exoterra 14,740 IU/lb
ZooMed ReptiCalcium 22,907 IU/kg
Mineral -indoor 2000ui per kg
Repashy calcium plus LoD 8,000 IU/lb
I dont have the time right now to convert kg to lbs, but just pretend that the 8,000 IU/lb is 20,000 ui/kg.
I Honestly know nothing about you. My "personal" recommendation is to wrap the 10.0 with 1 layer of aluminum window screen, and to dose with d3 that is 1 knotch down on the supplement list.
If you want to know what works for me, its UVI 0.5-1.0 at the spot they most hang out, along with stickytongue farms indoor for all calcum needs. I dont even bother with zero D3 calcium. its worked for me since the early 1990's.
Also rad recommendation, as you can see I am ALL THE THINGS right now. It’s been a doozy of learning curbs. I’m looking forward to redoing everything as I await my guy coming home!Back to the plexiglass thing, I just use plastic shower curtains attached to the sides and that helps keep in the humidity.
