due to reading some post about uv lights i went out today to buy some repti glo's 10% they are in my temporary enclosure above a mesh screen (herptek enclosures) next month i start building them their permanent cage and then they get a 160 watt powersun. but for a month or at most 2 is this 10.0% lamp enough? i also have a repti glo 2.0% at the other(cool) side of the cage and i have a sun glo halogen basking spot( the 160w powersun will melt my herpteks so that's why it's not mounted)
1 important question though: can this 10.0% repti glo cause eye problems with my tegu's? the store owner told me he had seen that in beardie's but there the bulb was directly in the cage not above a mesh like here so he didn't know if this could cause eye problems like this. i went for the 10.0% bulb because i've red some posts here that said 10.0% is much better than 5.0%.
