Brazilian Rainbow Boa. Under an Arcadia Deep Heat Projector.
Arcadia 6% UVB.

Pt 3 of the Reptibreeze Chameleon Build

As the title suggests. This is a video showing my own personal issues with the Reptile Systems T5 tube.
Also, as per the video. Whether this is an isolated issue, I just don't know.
As I do not intend to purchase another Reptile Systems tube, incase I waste my money.
I also show the UV index of the tube at 13" distance.
And an used Arcadia tube equivalent, at the same.
Enjoy.

I did a very.successful experiment last year.

I raised 100's of Silkworms on Arcadia Insect Fuel. As opposed to their normal mulberry chow diet.
From hatch, right through to moth.
I made sure the full cycle was complete before deeming the experiment a success.

Incidentally. Another batch I swapped and rotated the food between the Arcadia Insect fuel, and mulberry.
Again. No issues at all.

Pascal always wanting the attention.

I've always provided UVB for my Snakes. Mainly because back in the day, there were no fancy LEDS for tank illumination. So a low level UVB was provided.

Here is my Royal (ball)/Python openly basking under an Arcadia 6% UVB.

Pascal having his treat.

Arcadia Fruity-Insect Gold. 50% real fruit. 50% real insect.

Aimed at Gecko species.
That's NOT to say other species won't benefit.

Here, my baby Dragons tucking in to it, as a treat.

Adults get the same.

Installing the 'Arcadia LampGuardPro' over a 550mm 12% T5 tube, in my Corn Snake set-up (other Arcadia LampGuardPro sizes available)

Had to move my T5 forward in the set-up about 2 inches due to me having installed the tube and reflector pretty much behind the front door panel, so it's not only in a good position for getting that UVB to the setup surface. But also it's out of my own line of sight as I look in the setup.

Took a UV Index reading within the setup, both before and after the installation of the LampGuardPro (see video for results).

Overall. It's an awesome piece of kit. Well worth it for those Snake keepers that have mischievous snakes venturing up near the UVB.
And, even Chameleon keepers with those that have UVB month inside a setup.

How to prepare the new Arcadia Insect Fuel Gold.
In all honesty. More water could have been added. This will make the pack go much further. (Thanks John for the tip).

But. Just like the original product, the bugs love this jelly version.

A hit for me....

My Royal Python Slash, feeding on a weiner rat.
I use a 100% bioactive substrate for him. And witness much improved activity and feeding response.

As promised, I said I'd 'twerk' if we reached 1000 members on the Facebook group 'Chameleon Network (Was Chameleon Britain)' by a certain date.

We did.

Thank you ALL our members. And hard working admin team.
