the reptibreeze im using is the xl.the branch is 12 inches away from the bulb.he also has a lot of hiding/covered places so he an get away from the light too.i have a large ficus and umbrella plant in there.hes not fully exposed to it all the time and can get away from it when he likes.
its in a canopy.this is the canopy i have http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/arcadia-pro-vivarium-canopy-t5-24w-60cm.html.what if i lower the basking branch for the uv? i have now lowered it so that its 12 inches below the bulb.ive read many people have done what i have done with no problems
Hi, ive read that 6% if its being placed inside the viv will be fine.If its being put outside(on top of a reptibreeze for example)use 12%,as a large portion of the uv struggles to pass through the mesh.alot of uv light gets blocked by the mesh.ive also read uvb cant travel too far from its...
ive been told to get a 12% as it is high up and going through mesh.the bulb is 4 inches away from the mesh and not laying on top like many others i see.
.im glad shes ok now.:)
no hes not always dark.only when basking.the warmth is fine too his basking it between 80-82
i have a t5 24w arcaida 12% uv tube in a canopy.
my camera is not working at the mo.
going by the highest branch under the uv id say he was rougly 8 inches away from the uv tube.
can i gutload using baby leaf greens & sweetheart cabbage??
as ive looked everywhere for mustard greens & collard greens and cant find them.
all i can get greens wise is kale,savoy cabbage,spring greens,rocket.
although ive only had him 11days i didnt think it was stress as his uv is at the front of the viv and his sat there loving it right at the front.surely if it was stress related he would go very dark everywhere.which hes not.
thanks for the reply.
could it also be as hes only 9 weeks old.should i still hand feed & cup feed?
or should i just cup feed?
i take it its all down to him still settling in? only had him 10 days
i have a 10 week old ambilobe panther cham
ive had him 1 week.these last 2 days ive noticed when i put in the feeding cup or mist & feed him he goes a greyish/green colour and has dark tiger stripes/bars down his body.is this stress? he does often run and hide also.
although when he has these...
well ive been gutloading my locusts with kale greens,savoy cabbage & dried cranberries for the past week.
