Whistling & Windows

hippieslh Feb 12, 2004 10:40 PM

2 quick questions.

#1. Does residentil window glass reduce or eliminate UVB rays?

#2. Do Veil's make any type of noises? I have a youngun who I noticed today made a squeel,whistling sound on three different occasions.

Also, has ayone every heard or used the Hagen Life-Glo bulbs? If so, do they emit UVB also?

Thanks,
Stacey

According to my research for Dart frogs, all sites I have read stated that glass reduces UVB rays. Whats in debate seems to be how much.

Usually the squealing/whistling sound is an attempted hiss. Looks like your cham is mad at something. Lol! However, if it makes this sound almost continually while just sitting and breathing it may have some sort of respiratory infection. My big veiled does this sort of hiss and lunging attack whenever he sees me close to his cage.

I am not an expert like most of the folks in this forum...just my two cents.
