Hello everyone! First off I must apologize for not posting for a while, things have been hectic around here.
I have some questions about proper UVB levels for the kids. Right now we're using an Exoterra Solar Glo MVB that we bought when we started out back in June. Since then I've seen that they have some pretty poor reviews regarding the actual UBV output falling rapidly over time. I've decided to go with a Megaray MVB as a replacement since they seem to be pretty reliable (at least the beardie guys think so). However they have 2 different power levels on the 100w bulbs, one puts out 150-200 uW/cm2 UVB, and there's a low level version that emits 50-75 uW/cm2 UVB (both measured at 12" from the bulb).
What is the ideal level of UVB exposure for leopards? Do juveniles need more than adults? Will it cause bone or eye issues if I go with the higher emitting bulb and it's more than they need?
Thanks for the help,
-Devon
