Question about UVA and UVB

[MSG-KB]

Does my Leopard Gecko need this like my Bearded Dragon?

Please if you can tell me, looking for good tube light and fixture for my Bearded Dragon now.

Please if anyone can get back soon

Thank You

They do not require UVB lighting, check out the caresheet here on BP.net

For bearded dragons the reptisun 10.0 bulbs are the best. Make sure you get the linear tubes and not the compact (spiral) tubes as the spiral ones can damage their eyes or something.

Leo's are nocturnal, and depending ok the morph the light may hurt the Leo's eye.

For beardies and UVb bulbs look for German made ones (like the reptisun 10.0) and avoid the china or korean ones (like the Exoterra) They out put far too much UVb I had one and at 12 inches it was 400 µW/cm² which is far too much.

I would recommend the solartech solarmeter 6.2 meter. This way you can check the UV output and also check the degradation of the bulb I found I can pay for the meter by not changing the bulb earlier than needed.
