What UVB light is that? I upgraded to a 150 bulb.

I have a 40watt light for heat. It’s warm where i am so she doesn’t need much. The uvb is a t5 6%. You can use mercury lamps ( there is a lot of people who say you can’t) but they put out a high amount of uvb in a small area. I have used them but i checked the uvb with a solar meter first.

How cold we talking like 50? If you feel it’s to cold you can try doing this, go to a window with good light,set up a free range for her to hang out on and open the window. Make sure the window is open or the window glass will block the uvb ray

It is 55 degrees here, also she can’t free range at my house I have a cat that lives inside. Also she can’t move she just lays in one spot.

Right! South Carolina Is crazy. I have a 150 UVB bulb, a normal light bulb and 100w heater it doesn’t give off light

those are the lights I am talking about. Make sure you check on the side how far away you are ment to have it. If it’s too close it will be too much uvb and may hurt her.

When you say 150 uvb bulb is it one of these ?

Yep I keep a check on that but I’ll double check to make sure she isn’t to close

It sounds like your not providing the right lighting, do you have one of these lights on her?

As far as I know these are pretty bad.
This is what you want for heat.
The uvb coil is ok for uvb but not great. Much better with a liner flu-recent tube. I am starting to think your issue is the lighting.

No i Have a 160w bulb in a round thing

This is what I use for uvb with a reflector on it.

This is another option but needs to be used with caution. A uvb meter is awesome if you can afford one.

I don’t use my UVB light for heat, I have a heat light. Also my UVB light isn’t coil.

That bulb could be too warm for a female and the coul uvb is less than okay from what I've seen

Ok so your not providing uvb then, those round bulbs are only for heat not uvb. Your going to need to buy a t5 hood right away and get a 5.0 bulb to put into it.

WHAT?!?!! You’ve got to be kidding me

Dude. I am only trying to do the same. Sometime seeing a photo of the box is way more helpful as when you are trying to find the right thing it’s easier. Agree with you about the heat. That light is a box I had lying around.
