So I got a new light fixture for Chandler back at the beginning of February from light your reptiles. Now as a precaution, I kept my old fixture and bulb for the rare chance that I got a dud bulb or a dud fixture.
Fast forward to this past week and Chandler has been less active and has been reluctant to consistently use his back legs all the time. He also threw up the other day, although this was do to my temps being a bit low and has since been fixed. I unfortunately do not have a UV meter to test the new bulb, however when I get home tonight I will be setting up my old uvb light as a precaution and also dust his feeders with calcium with D3 until his behavior returns to normal.
Just wondering if anyone knows what color of light an Arcadia 12% T5 is supposed to produce as mine seems to be dim and produces a cool white light, basically a white light with a blue hue. Also wondering if it is possible that I did in fact get a dud uvb bulb.
