Basking lamp and CHE question

[edricivan]

Hi guys I was wondering if these are OK to use for a sulcata hatchling.

Do you have a separate UVB bulb or the ability to get your hatchling outside for regular natural sunlight? That basking bulb doesn't provide any.

If the bulb gives out UVB then yes on both. Also have you read Toms threads below in my post for raising sulcatas healthy and smooth? Check them out if you haven't

Hi Sarah! Yes I plan on taking them out daily to bask then for a soak after.. or can this be done at the same time?

What some do, is to soak them while you are taking them in. This way they can graze and walk around outside, but you can soak them while bringing them in. Always provide lots of shade as they over heat easily.
