Just wondering what you all think is the best UVB for a Yellow Belly Slider? I'd love to find a combo bulb to ensure that she's getting both heat and UVB in the same spot. Her shell looks really healthy and she sheds, so I think she is absorbing some of her current UVB, but I'm not sure if she's absorbing enough. It's time to replace the UVB, so before I buy a new one, I'm wondering if I should invest in something of a higher quality.
This is her current lighting set up:
Also, does anyone know if it's possible to crimp some screen directly around the lamp to protect my cat that likes to go under the lights. I just want to make sure that it's safe. For instance, these lamps have a cover on them. Any thoughts on their safety?
