Question Redfoots & Megaray

Hi all....

Does anyone here use Megarays with their Redfoots? Just a bit nervous about doing so as they seem to hate their UVB Light!

Thanks

Em

Hi how old are the redfoots in question ??
as if they are young i personally would not advise the use of a bulb so strong ..
this is only my opinion of cause .. as reds have sencertive eyes and i have heard some storys of young reds having eye issues due to such strong lights ..
hope this helps

I only use tubes with my adults now, they were bumping into each other when i used Combined bulbs. But i know others use them with no problems with adults.

For babies up to a year i dont use any UVB
