Where i live is impossible to find UVB UVA lamps!I looked every single pet shop in the city (Kula Lumpur),so i decided to put my girl trib in the sun for half an hour everyday.From 7,30AM until 8,00 AM.Early morning the temperature is not so hot yet(At 10,00AM the temp will be 90+ lol!).Do you think to be taken from her cage and to be placed in an open area in the sun will stress her too much?I need to take her out of her cage, to put her in a bird's cage and to put the birds cage with her inside outdoors. She doesnt like to be handled and today she cried of afraid!

Hi Flavia,

There are tons of online reptile shops you could order a UVB light from, or is there a reason you don't want to do that? Or maybe a pet store in your area would be willing to do it for you?

Although im Brazilian im living in Malaysia, southeast Asia.Here the people speak Malay, most of them dont know one single word of English and even if they speak English they dont know what is uvb or uva.Even the people that work in petshop!Do you think that the shops that sell on line will export to Malaysia? I tried once, i sent an e-mail to one of these shops and they didnt even answered me back!

I would say as long as the Tribs have still got plenty of hides in their outdoor cage and they can’t get out they will be fine, I find my tribs only bask @ the end of the day when the temps start 2 drop i never c them in the morning because i'm not up ! But ideally get yourself a high UVB Strip light or the new arcadia 7% Bulb.
Cheers Deano
