Hi!!!
as far as the lights, i would think it'd say on the package if not on the actual bulb if it's UVB or not .... i don't know a whole lot about zoo-med except everyone recommends their lights ... i assume they've got a ton of different ones tho .... hopefully the store clerk could help you?????
some people feel that UVB lights are not necessary and/or worthless IF your ig is getting a good diet and vitamins from it ....
iZ got his present early ... a new heater for his room! you think THAT wasn't fun to figure out how to install so my curious (+ accident-prone!) ig couldn't get to it!?!?!? but we're up in Iowa and i think winter has decided to come this year after all .... yech .... so! i got one of those electric heaters that *look* like the old fashioned steam radiators (ya know?) and it's installed in the closet of iZ's room (with a fan to push the warm air out into the room) ... we took the doors off the closet and replaced them with lattice and mesh .... so far, so good! our house is old and drafty and iZ just refuses to wear a sweater and socks ... (...kinda like my son ..... hmmmmm) ... i keep checking and rechecking to make SURE he can't get close enough to get hurt ... i am SO paranoid now!!!!!! (it's nice to be married to a carpenter!)
iZ is most certainly feeling better today tho .... he was 'out of bed' and clear across the room on his hanging log at supper time! whew! i am sooooo relieved! his tail is still looking good but i'm keeping my fingers crossed ANYway ... *GRINS*
i always get a giggle when i go to the grocery store to get iZ's food for the week ... people actually think that I eat healthy ... ho ho ho .... and they don't look at me QUITE so strangely any more when i tell them it's collards ...
well, i have to go harrass iZ now and give him his Baytril .... he takes it pretty good but has made it VERY clear that he's doing it under protest .... :(

hi to Cleo!!!!
