UVB Bulb

[Averylynnm]

Hi everyone I am just about to buy a new UVB bulb for my bearded dragon and lots of people have been telling me different things so I thought I would ask on here! What is the best bulb to get? How do I set it up on my tank? My light fixture is provided in the pictures. Some people have said you need to get the long UVB bulb so would that mean I need a new light fixture for it? Or is there some other way to set it up while still using my current light fixture and tank lid (also provided in pictures) Thanks everyone!

You need a long tube fixture what size is the tank? 40 + gallon tanks you can get a 24" fixture w/ a reflector like a Zoo Med or Arcadia Pro 5 or something similar --- you would need a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 for a 40 + gallon and height of 18 inches tall tank or a Arcadia 12% bulb --- both are really good bulbs --- Please get rid of the coil if that is what your using ASAP --

Where does the strip uvb go? It is a bulb that sits in the tank?

Depending on the screen on your tank it can sit on top or inside the tank --- but that depends on the screen --- this bulb is extremely important and if your using a coil please replace it NOW

It is a 40 gallon tank, the petstores where I am located have the bulbs but not the proper fixture for them. Is there a way I can either use heat protected zip ties or soenthung else to stick it to the glass of anywhere? Until I order the proper light fixture for it
