if I ever had a time to be a idiot it was then because I forgot to a UVB bulb. So anyway I ordered one on Monday and it is scheduled to come tomorrow..A POWERSUN MVB!!! My question though is he's been a little sluggish and hasn't ate well...Is it the combination of him getting adjusted to a new enviroment and the fact that he doesn't have any UVB??? He does have heat on him but just no UVB till tomorrow....I deserve a stoning huh??? Any thoughts???

It's probably a combination of a new home and no UVB. Just make sure your temp in the basking area is right (100-11). there normally is an adjustment period of up to 2 weeks.

if its a bright light, that is more needed regularly that the UVB, a few days without it will not be bad.....

But if your using undertank heat or CHE, you need to add some light intensity.
