Thank you for that, we ordered some yesterday so they should be here this afternoon so we can get Wolverine setup properly. I appreciate your kind words!
Currently I have the light zip tied to the top of the wire frame, its 11 inches above the substrate level. The lighting fixture is the Arcadia ProT5 UVB Kit 24Watt Part Number RARPT24Z.
Thank you for your kind words, my son is still really bummed out from losing Deadpool so we will work thru...
Sorry I do have 1 question, it sounds like I will be ordering the 12% UVB bulb like suggested here and in the setup thread. From what I understand there it appears the UVB light only needs to be on for 4 hours a day since ours will live exclusively indoors year round. Currently its running 12...

2. I had read about the lack of UVB but it didn't make sense to me...
Hey Edward,
Thank you for replying back... It seems like we have gotten bad information all over the place...Im pretty disappointed that we were given bad information.
Deadpool doesn't have sunken eyes, his limbs are not stiff. As far as stimuli goes I did gently touch his foot and he...
