blue azureus uv%??????

[deaxone]

hi guys just wondering what %uv most ppl use for theyre dart frogs,more specifically blue azureus???

[Punchfish]

I don't use UV for any of my frogs. Just make sure you feed plenty of dusted FF's.

As above, darts don't need UV.
The lights people use are more for the plants than the frogs

[essexchondro]

I don't use any lighting at all on mine.

i had no light for them but have just picked up a crested gecko viv with a small uv,as i have live plants in the viv i was going to use this,i think its a 10%bulb,will this be too bright for them?

[mad4frogs]

I dont have UV for any of my darts. They have the normal daylight t5 and others just have the energy saving bulbs. Lights are just used for plant growth and to make em easily vivsible for us humans
In the wild they would be on the ground between leaves and would rarely have the sunlight breakin through the treetop canopy.
I think a 2% or 5% would be better if you are gonna use reptiglo ones (assuming that is a reptile bulb) the 10% s are more designed for desert animals.

[Punchfish]

Yeah I got T5's too, which I think are nice.

[mad4frogs]

yes they are brighter and take less electricity

[deaxone]

yeah im noticing that this bulb give off a weird light,are the t5 ones more like natural light?

[Punchfish]

I don't really know if they give a more natural light as I have nothing to compare them too. But I find when looking into the tank it looks pretty natural to me and nice and bright, but not blindingly bright.
