Steve - 7 months - Nosy Be

[Sarahcwilson]

I had Steve out on his palm at school (teachers are doing report cards and kids get the day off - I was obviously NOT procrastinating, haha). His colors were looking really good today! I got a new full spectrum light for his plants and he seems to really like it. I don't know how to explain it; he just looked "happy" today.

Anyway, here you go. The others I took were fuzzy, so, just one!

He does look happy. Like the yellow on his mouth.

He is a gorgeous looking little Be that's for sure.
What are the details of the full spectrum light you got for his plants? I really want to put a nice light up for my boys freerange but I am having a hard time choosing!

Very pretty.

ReptiGeek: I ended up using a T8 "Reveal" full spectrum light and a DIY housing from Lowe's for it, but it's not very bright. I found out today that for the same price, I could have gotten a T5 full spectrum light and the housing for it. The T5 seems a lot brighter and I guess it's cooler to the touch and uses less power. But, who knows if Steve would like it more?

Also, thanks everybody for the compliments! He makes my heart smile. I'm a nerd, I know!

I have been thinking about making the switch to T5, but if I were to do it I'd want my UVB lights in T5 as well and they just aren't popular at all in Canada. I think I might take a yonder up to my local hardware store and see if I can find a full spectrum light and fixture, thanks for the suggestion

Of course! This is random, but I know a lot of people in Canada and I'm proud that I know what ketchup chips are. We don't carry them here in the states but they really do taste like ketchup!

ketchup chips ??? LOL

In the US I guess the closest thing we have to ketchup chips are BBQ flavored. I've seen the ketchup chips before and scratched my head on that one.
