Hi, I am thinking about to get some Cordylus sp, probably tropidosternum, and I dont know what lamp to buy for it. Will I need a 8% UVB (8.0) or a 5%UVB(5.0) is enough?
Thanks guys

Please do not waste your money on florescent light fixtures. For the amount of money you put into them, they produce a pitiful amount of ultraviolet light compared to mercury vapor bulbs. I highly recommend the web site below. Although the initial startup costs for Mercury vapor bulbs is high, you save money over the long run, and your animals benefit by getting a better source of stronger ultraviolet light.
