Questions & Answers

What’s a good bulb that helps stimulate plant growth and also compatible with leopard geckos

Are the emissions from this bulb strong enough to penetrate screening or mesh atop an enclosure or does there need to be an opening in it?
Answer by ChewyOct 02, 2018
This product should be placed approximately 9 inches from the basking site without being placed over a screen or mesh.

How often does it need to be replaced?
Answer by ChewyApr 14, 2023
Your lamp will provide beneficial UVB for a period of 12 months. After 12 months, the lamp should be replaced with a new ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp. Before you turn your lamp on for the first time, date the base of the lamp to remind yourself when to replace it.

Is the 10.0 or the 5.0 better for a box turtle?
Answer by ChewyDec 07, 2020
In general, the 5.0 bulbs are recommended for box turtles. Zoo Med does suggest its ReptiSun 10.0 High Output bulb is a good option over screen covers. Since these covers block about half the rays the higher output of these bulbs means your pet should still get enough UV rays.

bulb fell apart???

Usually these bulbs work great for me, but I decided to upgrade to a higher uvb at my vets recommendation ans this bulb blew out almost immediately. Not even blew out, it fell apart?? I've never seen this happen. I went to turn on my turtles lights for the day and it wouldn't turn on, so I checked the bulb and it looked like this. I installed the bulb the day before yesterday and it was fine for the first few days.

Do not buy this product

First time buying. Bought these lights because they were a great price. They are not bright enough. My tortoise will not go over to the side of the tank that this light is on. :( Do not buy these lights.

Waste of money

Arrived shot. Not bright enough for a basking light. Don’t waste your money, just go ahead and buy a heat lamp it’ll do the same job.

Weak light

Produces almost no light! In zoomed double fixture it does not illuminate anything more than 2" away.

I love chewy!

I ordered this and two basking bulbs so I figured they'd come separately from the three bags of 25-30lb food && canned dog food. Honestly I was a little curious and worried to see two big boxes getting dropped off. But, All arrived in working condition and packed with love! The bubble wrap and boxing kept all the bulbs intact. I am so in love with chewy for the S&H, wide selection, and obviously their dedication and outstanding love for their customers & our pets.

Dont ship light bulbs with 100 lbs of bird seed in the same box.

Dont know if the bulb worked, I was refunded, but they sent a glass bulb with over 100 lbs of bird seed. Seems logical to pack them in the same box

Not for a bearded dragon

From everyone I’ve talked to, through their experiences, this is not recommended for a dragon and shouldn’t be listed or marketed as such. It can be used for leopard geckos and has plenty of uvb for them. However, inadequate uvb can cause MBD (metabolic bone disease) in your dragon so do not use these. Instead use them for the species who do not need as much UVB.

best turtle uvb bulb

honestly cant find a better one than this!! its so good and works for a long time. ALWAYS REPLACE EVERY 6-9 MONTHS. it says a year but its not true the uvb is almost gone by that time. ive been using this bulb recommended by my vet. used to use the 5.0 but his shell needed some growing she said since hes a baby. i place this 7 inches over his tank even though it says 11, but i have the lamp holder thats connected to the heat bulb so i just keep them together. his shell is nice and hard. definitely worth it and cheaper on chewy.
