A basking bulb that delivers heat AND UVB...My water dragon is brown instead of green...and i don't think he is getting enough UVB....I have the ReptiSun 5.0 flourescent...but he doesn't climb to the top of his log until it goes out...I have it on a timer...I use a ceramic heater for heat...but he never gets under it much....I haven't had him for long...a few weeks maybe...and at the pet store he had some snout damage...it seems now that his "lips" don't close all the way now...you can see his little gums....and I think that there is some sort of UVB deficiency...I dust his crickets with calcium powder....and his veggies too...which he doesn't seem to like veggies anyway....I am having a hard time keeping the humidity up...i found a site explaining how to make a humidifier out of a bottle...air pump and air stone...that has helped some...he is in shed now and i know he needs the humidity...if any one can tell me what i can do to make sure he gets the proper amount of UVB and heat I would GREATLY appreciate it...temporarily he is in a 29 gallon aquarium...which is too narrow in my opinion because i have to put the flourescent tube towards the back to have room for the fixture for the heater....there has got to be a better way to set this thing up...I don;t want my little fella getting sick or worse....I am used to dealing with snakes...I have 10 of those...ball pythons and boas...new to the lizard thing...I just need some good advice on caring for him
