pygmy uv

[VeiledOwner87]

is it possible, since pygmys dont need to much light, low uv none the less, to use a small plant grow tube?

Its not just the amount of UV but the specific part of the spectrum that matters. I'm not an expert on the differences between a "grow light" spectrum and the ReptiSun spectrum but don't think I would chance it. ReptiSuns work and are safe. You could use a smaller single tube to cut down the intensity and provide lots of cover.

i will not be using a linear tube for this, i will be sticking with an exo-terra clf for the time being if this be the case. but then again, some sights say that pygmies do well even without uv lighting.
