Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

UVB
hi i have a question. for the first months or so, i make a rookie, rookie mistake. i only had a uva bulb for my young beardies, and didnt realize that uva and uvb are two different kinds of uv rays. anyway i was wondering if theres any chance that no uvb stunted their growth? i mean now i have both uva and uvb bulbs in there tank and they've always ate just fine and shed and acted like a normal beardie. its just i see some younger beardies out there alot bigger then my beardies and was just wondering if that was possible. thanks.

It could be bossible, They weren't processing enough calcium which they need to grow. Now that you have fixed the problem they may catch up.

Actually I have heard that the reptiglo 10 bulb is no good for your beardies and can actually harm them over a period of time. The reptisun 10 bulb is the best bulb to use for your dragons. I am sure someone else more knowledgable will explain what is bad about the reptiglo because I can't remember ..... lol Good luck !

OK I went back and did my research just to make sure I wasn't telling you wrong. The Repti Glo 10 caused alot of eye problems in beardies when it first came out so it is not recommended to use. The Repti Glo 8 and Reptisun 10 are the recommended strip bulbs. And yeah you are right the compacts are terrible for beardies !

According to quick Google search, ReptiGlo is made by Exo-Terra.
