Re: Getting Serious for KyJinn
He MUST have UV as well as heat, it can cause serious disorders if they dont get enough uv. We use Mercury Vapour Bulbs (mvb) as they do provide heat and uv all in one bulb. They are more expensive than having separate bulbs but imo the tank looks neater with just the one light fitting. Mvb also get pretty hot so they dont need such high wattage tho they cant be used on thermostats so there is some playing around to do to get the right temps.
Ours go on at 9am temps get up to about 115f at peak and we turn them off at about 6pm, the lizards get 9 hours of uv and also a day night temp cycle as the viv cools overnight.
