Color temperature of the light is 5000k. UV is Arcadia 12% 22 inch. Basking light is soft white BR 30 flood. Night temp is around 70F and could be 65F if outside is very cold. I’ve got a night heat bulb but was advised not to use it. Do I need to lower the temp more to do a mini hibernation?

Thanks. What's the day temp you had?

@Tom my RT is in the same situation. He stopped eating since 9/11. I tried to add lights, increase temp (75-95 spread), soak daily but he still wants to sleep. Any suggestion? He is two years old and I got him in August from Carol

Did he stop eating until Dec? Not eating is the part that scares me.

Day temp is 70-95F. Night temp is around 70. Lights on 14 hours. He is two years old.

No luck yet. He stopped eating almost three weeks ago. If I wake him up, he becomes very fuzzy and moves things around. I tried to increase temp, added lights and soaked him daily but he is still not interested in food at all

I'm in the same situation that my RT stopped eating and cannot be convinced it's "summer time". Could you give more details on how to do a "pseudo hibernation" or provide a real example?

Thanks Tom. The kit is out and I can only find an individual part

Never mind. I ordered one from Reptile Basics and it's just shipped out. Finally got one that didn't cancel the order.

It's sold out as well.

Thanks. Sorry I should have clarified what I'm looking for is 12% UVB fixture.

I'm having a hard time getting an Arcadia T5 light fixture (tubes can be found at local PetSmart). It's out of stock everywhere (petsmart, reptilighting, etc.). I'm wondering if any of you know where to get one.

Thanks for sharing @Yvonne G @wellington Thanks for sharing the instructions. I tried it and it was definitely straightforward. A couple of additional questions: Is Cypress mulch from Home Depot a good substrate choice? How high should the UV bulb be?

Thank you! I've left @Carol S a message.

Actually I found the answer, to buy it from a member here
