    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm using the heat/UVB bulb in one and it's getting 103 degrees on the basking spot and it's 13 inches away. I need it to be around 6 inches but it will be too hot that close. Can I put a dimmer on it workout it affecting the uvb output?
 
Hey Michael,

Which MVB are you using? What wattage? What I would recommend doing is purchasing a UVB meter. Test is at various distances. If you are getting at least 12 microwatts per square centimeter, I wouldn't worry about it. You could also just add a UVB fluorescent strip bulb if you want to up the UVB output.

Hope this helps!
 
Your reply did help but unfortunately i didn't get the dragon i was going for. I just saw you replied to this and wanted to reply as a courtesy. :) Thanks for the help for the future though.
