Where can I find UVB lighting for RES hatchlings?
Lozenges asked:
I’ve recently bought two baby RES turtles, but I’m very inexperienced with raising reptiles. I’m a bit confused about lighting and lamps for turtles…Is a heat lamp and UVB lighting the same thing? Do I need two separate lamps for the turtles? For UVB, where can I find decent lamps? I heard that infrared lamps did not work well, and also that incandescent lamps work fine (which I defintely know doesn’t work now). Can someone recommend some brands for good lights? Thanks!

Can someone recommend the best UV and Heat lighting for an Iguana Cage?
sparrownightmare asked:
I am building a new enclosure for our Iguanas and I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the best UVB and Heat lighting to use for them. The enclosure is going to be a duplex of sorts, with a total length of 6′ and a depth of 3′ and a height of 6′, divided in the center into two seperate units. I am not sure what is the best brand, model and type of lighting for the Iguanas. Any help appreciated.

What kind of heating/lighting does my albino snow corn snake need?
Sierah D asked:
They are nocturnal so they don’t need a lot of lighting is that right? What about black lights? Do they need anything special since he’s albino? I need a source to heat the tank because he’s cold. I have a heating pad but it’s not enough and I heard that heating rocks are dangerous.
