Ok so you will lift the fixture 4 measured inches off the screen top. Then you want to add in a flukers vine or branch so that it sits 5 inches below the screen below the UVB light. Not only will this help him get down but it will be the right distance for a uvi of 3 at the vine/branch and then on the screen he will not be in over exposure levels with it lifted 4 inches.
I typically keep heat raised up at least 4 inches. Depends on how hot it is at the screen and at the branches below. It should not burn your hand if you hold it to the screen.
I like this shaped bulb better.
I personally would feed more bsfl and less dubia but that’s just me.
What was he eating prior to you getting him? Most are raised on crickets which means you will have to have what they are used to. Then you mix in other new feeders like dubia they then learn by targeting them with the crickets that is something they want to eat.Oh ok, thanks!
I personally wouldn’t. It would be similar to feeding your child mostly junk food. They are growing and need all the healthy nutrients that they can get to grow up big and strong.
I think it depends on what you are trying to achieve... If you are working with them and trust building by hand feeding then feeding 3-4 waxworms a day this way is nothing when you look at their overall food intake of other feeders. I use waxworms as my example because this is how I have always taught them to hand feed and it is a fattier feeder that I would not use as a staple. To this day it is Beman's favorite although he hardly ever gets them.
