can i use the bulbs or do i have to use the strip lightswhat wattage? 10.0?how big of a cage does an iguana need?
There are several types of UVB producing bulbs on the marketSome of the best include ZooMed's Iguana Light 5.0 and Reptisun 5.0, as well as T-Rex's Active UVHeat bulb and ZooMed's PowerSunThe first two are fluorescent-style tube bulbs that require a special fixtureThe second two are mercury vapor lights that produce both heat and UVBThese fit in a regular dome light socket, but produce a lot of heat and require a ceramic socketThis light should be on a minimum of 10 hours per dayA temperature gradient of 70-95 degrees Fahrenheit should be maintained with cooler areas of 70 and 95 at the basking spotNo 'hot rocks’ are to be used with green iguanas due to the risk of thermal burnsDaytime temperatures can be maintained by use of regular incandescent bulbs or ceramic heat emitters (ceramic heat emitters require porcelain fixtures) Nighttime temperatures can be maintained by use of black or red 'night lights’ and/or human heating pad or reptile pad (under the enclosure or carpet substrate)An adult iguana can grow as large as 6 feet in length and weigh as much as 20lbs, therefore, for proper thermoregulation, it is imperative that the enclosure be a minimum of twice the iguana’s size in length and at least 1 ? times it’s length in height.
It is the same as Sigg.only cheaper :) See link.
