lighting height

Can I use this UVB for hatchlings (5 weeks old) They live in a tortoise house at the moment while a larger more appropriate enclosure is being built. What do you recommend? A strip light? 10 or higher? How high?

Hi all.. possibly a silly question here but I cannot figure out how my set up should be. I've been reading through other threads about the lighting set up needed, and someone kindly pointed it out on an instagram post I made, and I've realised my UVB tube light is incorrect. The previous owner...

I have researched so much and still am not 100% sure about lighting. We are getting a red foot hatchling next week, we will set it up in a temporary 20 gallon terrarium which is a 2x1x1 i think (yes it’s small but the breeder actually recommended this for a temporary enclosure) i know that i...

How high should I put my mvb for a baby hatchling sulcata?.

Upgrading my current table to a new one, I've been told a uvb fluorescent tube is better than the normal uvb light I have. So my question is, what sort of uvb fluorescent tube should I get (5.0,10.0 and what length)? And what brand (Currently I'm using equipment from Exo Terra, are they good?)...

Hi all. My red-foot has outgrown his aquarium home and while he lives outside much of the spring, summer and fall, he needs an in-door home for the cold winter months. We have a 3.5-wide octagonal coffee table with upper and lower glass shelves that I plan to repurpose as a terrarium to keep him...

Hey everybody I'm Nick, the handy half of the ilovekitty team. First off, Id really like to just thank everybody on the forum here, without you guys i would probably be telling Katlyyn to just go throw them in the fish tank. Thankfully though I found you guys and i am now working on giving our...
