My RF likes to stay buried between the hide and the basking light. She'll eat, get a drink and soak, then she will bask for 5 mins and bury herself again. She is about 2 yrs old. She stays buried most of the time, is that a problem?
mel262011 said:The reason I am asking is because I had another RF that would partially bury itself under the basking light all day after it did the same routine. Unfortunately I had to rehome that one because it was having territorial issues.
mel262011 said:So I don't need a basking light? I thought they needed that to help them digest their food. I use one because I can't take them outside, I live in an apartment complex.
mel262011 said:I have the basking light and a uvb light. My vet told me to use that since they stay inside. My basking stays at 95 degrees. Cool side is about 75 - 80 degrees.
mel262011 said:I'm trying to, the basking light seems to suck up the moisture.
mel262011 said:yes, I do. I spray it at least 3 times a day. I use cypress mulch.
mel262011 said:okay!
mel262011 said:Its a regular uvb bulb for now. My russian uses a Desert 50 UVB bulb. I am going to buy a Tropical UVB light for my RF on the 15th of this month.
