uv light

Hello, I am looking for any suggestions for UV lights for my cobra and viper enclosure. The cobra is 6ft in length and the viper is 5ft. The enclosures are quite large, 6ft in height. I am looking for a UV light fixture that can reach the floor. I was looking at the Zoomed Power Sun H.I.D Metal...

Hello all! So I am looking in to getting a baby Leopard Gecko, but have found some conflicting opinions regarding UV Light, gutloading, and vitamins and calcium. Could someone help me out? 1. UV Light, needed or not? I've seen some people swear Leos need it, and others say they don't. The kit...

Hi. We are hopefully soon to become first time Bearded Dragon owners so we are doing our research at the moment and looking for equipment. I have found someone who is selling the whole set up including a 5 year old dragon but they don't have a uv light and have never used one. They provide...

Can I ask a simple question of those of you who have outdoor enclosures for your tortoises in the summer. Do you still give them a UV light when night falls or do you consider they get enough UV light because they're out all day?

Hi all! I've started to experiment with providing UV light to my snakes, starting with my corn, to see if it makes any noticeable difference to him. So far he's gone from being apparently a little freaked out about it to going completely back to normal and going back into his (dark) favourite...

Hi everyone! I am planning on getting a Crested Gecko and have been researching all the equipment I'll need for the vivarium set-up. When I came to the lighting, I was in two minds about whether I should get a UVB 2% strip light or not due to the vitamin D3 intake need by cresties. I intend...

The leopard gecko had no lighting in it's enclosure at all and after looking online I have found that some people expose them to some UV and others do not. With that...

Could anyone recommend a UV tube light fitting for a 4ft long Viv for a Bearded Dragon?

After reading Arcadia's fascinating article in PRK in the issue before last on the extent to which snakes use UV - evolving to see in UV rather than just utilising it for vitamins - I wondered about using it with my royal. I'd heard a few mixed opinions and even been told it WILL...

Hi, I need to get a new UV light for my beardie and was wondering which one would be best. I'm currently using the Arcadia 12% 34", but with my new background in there it leaves little to no gradient. Viv 120cm(4ft), arcadia tube 86cm, background 10-ish cm, and then I moved it away from the...

Hey everyone! Okay, so I've just got a question about UV lamps for snakes! So I adopted 2 snakes a few years ago and they came with a large viv that had a florescent UV light strip - I used it for a while, then stopped using it, and the rest of them have never had one before.... What I'm...
