arcadia uvb

Hi Everyone, I'm prepping an enclosure for a leopard tortoise hatchling enclosure that is 6x2x3 (LxWxH). Based on what I've read so far, I should get a UVB light with the length of 36" at least? Also, I'm thinking of going with an Acadia 12% HO. I appreciate the help here, just want to make...

Setting up for a red-footed tortoise and gathering supplies. I'm a bit confused about lighting. I'm planning on using the Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 6% for UVB, and I'd love to create a bioactive enclosure to mimic their natural environment. I've heard that I'll need an LED light, like the Arcadia...

So i kind of f*cked up. I have been using arcadia t5 6% UVB lights at 12” height for my baby greek. Tomorrow i am going away for a month and leaving my tortoise with my parents so i figured i change the light to a 12% and put the fixture on top of the screen just to be safe because right now...

Hey all, I just wanted to post some info for all you to see. I am new here but constantly see posts asking for UVB and Heat recommendations in other groups. I had made this post on Facebook but thought I’d share here as well! Most of this info will be for Sulcata torts of hatchling to juvie...

My very first enclosure, it sure needs some more decorations and hiding spots, but it covers most of the basic needs. I take it outside during the morning if its sunny until around 4 when I take it back inside under a UVB and heating bulb. I’m searching ideas on how to make a closed chamber to...

Ive noticed Arcadia seems to be a very popular brand around here and light your reptiles seem to be the main source, is this kit enough? https://www.lightyourreptiles.com/arcadia-shadedweller-pro-12-kit-110v-usa-model-clearance-sale-35-99/ Quite frankly it looks like exactly what Ive been...

I just moved my Greek Ibera from a table into a 4 x 2 x 2 vivarium. The issue I am having is the height of the vivarium in comparison to the bulb I am using. The bulb is an Arcadia Euro Range 10-Percent D3+. At the moment, it hangs down at the side, not in the middle as would be preferable...

Hi all.. possibly a silly question here but I cannot figure out how my set up should be. I've been reading through other threads about the lighting set up needed, and someone kindly pointed it out on an instagram post I made, and I've realised my UVB tube light is incorrect. The previous owner...

I'm new to this forum so I really hope I'm going about this correctly! A little background about my tort: I have a male Russian named Todoroki. I got him from a pet store so I'm not sure of his age. I'm personally against buying animals from shops, but I absolutely fell in love with this...

I've been searching through the threads to find information on the difference between the Arcadia T5 6% and 12% UV tubes. I just purchased the 6% because I thought it meant I can hang it at a lower height (I'm not sure where I got this idea from--please let me know if I'm misunderstanding). I...

Hi all, I’m looking at replacing my UVB for my Hermann’s tortoise. I’ve currently got an Arcadia 10%, 25w bulb. Is this the best bulb or should I be looking at getting something with more than 10% or more wattage?? Thanks in advance :)
