I USE A RED BULB FOR BASKING BUT I ALSO USE A 48" EXOTERRA 5.0 FLUORESCENT LAMP FOR AMBIENT LIGHT AND HAVE HAD VERY GOOD BREEDING RESULTS WITH THIS SET UP. FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS NOW IT SEEMED WHEN I USED A MERCURY VAPOR FLOOD LAMP (REP PRO) MY TEGUS WANTED TO BURROW AND GO INTO THEIR HIDE MOST OF THE TIME. NOW THEY ARE OUT AND ABOUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. AND AS FAR AS SUBSTRATE GOES I USE
A NATURAL BARK SUBSTRATE FROM HD ( W/O ANY DYES) AND I MIX IT WITH A COCONUT HUSK SUBSTRATE FOR HUMIDITY. MIKE
