UVA vs UVB?

[Aardbark]

Just a quick question. Whats more important to a tegu, uva or uvb?

Uvb

 

[xocrieox]

uvb is more important

In addition, I'm pretty sure all bulbs that put out UVB also put out UVA.

Thats good, thanks all.

UVB is,UVA is pretty much just visible light.

Better your understanding of UVB light here, http://www.uvguide.co.uk/

UVB is best. It is like a mini sun. But unlike the sun the UVB can run out. It is best to date your bulb. The bulb will continue to run after the UVB has run out from what I hear. Normally runs out after approx. 6 months

Hahaha. Good point. I guess your right on that. The sun will die one day but we won't be around to see it fortunately
