UV Lights in the heat!?

I breed snakes and bearded dragons. It depends on the type of reptile you have. Some require UV ligh, some don't. UV bulbs also come in a variety of spectrums. I'd suggest contacting your local pet store and asking. They'll be able to help. If the lizard you have does need UV, it's important you always supply it! Without proper UV light, many reptiles will develop severe deformities. They need it!! You should have a UV bulb and a heat bulb. They are seperate things, unless the type of bulb you have is a sun lamp. Most UV bulbs will not emit any, or very little heat.

I don't really know about that hon, but UV light is already so strong and you should be careful in using that especially with living things. UV light can even sterilize the water already and kill those bacterias so I guess it can harm the lizard. I suggest you ask some vet or someone who really knows about those things before using it on the lizard.

I wouldn't use it unless he starts getting sluggish. Come winter he'll need it.
