    weird yellowish stuff on baby cham

    Basking Setup Questions

    dont think theres harm in what colour the bulb is. i do believe however that closest to daylight is prob best so around the 6500. having a lower one might will prob make it a bit darker or dull.wash out colours of your plants.
