Where To By Large UVB Hoods?

[ChameleonFan1989]

I'm in the UK and since I upgraded Sebastian's cage, I'm still using the UVB hood I used for the large Reptibreeze, its transmitting UVB fine but feel its not covering as much as the cage as I'd like but would like a bigger hood for my extra large cage and can't seem to find any big enough

How big is the bulb you are using now?

I'm using a 30cm hood and compact bulb but want to get a larger one and start using a linear tube. He's getting UVB for now as he sits under it mulitple times a day as he's moving around.

Our sponsors DIY cages and lightyour reptiles both sell 24" fixtures that will fit perfectly on your XL cage

Are any of these sponsors in the UK though?

Dont they have hardware stores over there? You should be able to find fixtures of different lenghts I have a Zoo Med Slider hood that is awsome! They come in alot of sizes.... They must sell Zoo Med stuff over there....?

Check one of our sponsors Light your Reptiles. If he doesn't do it he will direct you to a local source. Let me know if you have any problem.

Would this kind of fixture be ok?

Obviously the purple fluorescent tube will be scrapped.

It would work..... But its way better to have a reflector housing.....Something like you would hang above a desk or in the garage. Have you checked the local pet store that sells reptiles? Surely they would have something.

Went to the local reptile pet store today with mum, they sell UVB tubes but sadly don't sell any fixtures.
