Hi, I rescued a sulcata that I found on Craigslist. I say rescued because people bought her and had no idea what they were getting into. When we got her last night there was no moisture in her enclosure at all and you could clearly see that it had been constantly kept that way. Also, I believe that it was spinach that I removed from her food dish last night.
Anyway, I live in upstate NY.(Actually in the northern part of the state.) I am fully aware of how large they get and what I am getting into but I felt that I could and should help so here I am asking for some help.
So, the two lights she came with are have no special markings on them so I'm not sure exactly what they are. One is a curly bulb which I assume Is the UVB, and I have read that they can cause blindness so I will be changing that. The other bulb must be for heat and it is 100w. My question is if I get a MVB do I still need a CHE? Also, somewhere I read that both UVB and CHE should be pointed in the same place over the basking area...is this correct?
Thanks.
