lighting question

[telsa.the.tegu]

i recently bought a custom built cage from someone, it was a snake that was previously housed inside it.and it the person i bought it from gave me the light that was in it its a Verilux F20T12VLX full spectrum tube light. does anyone know if i can use this with my tegu?


thank you

That light doesn't appear to emit UVB, so you could use it as just a "light" to provide brightness, but that's about it.

I went and read multiple caresheets and all of them recommended full spectrum lighting so yes

Just for normal lighting unless you know how much uvb it's putting out if any, just because it's full spectrum doesn't mean that it does. Or even if the amount emited is enough for proper vitamin d processing.
