Lighting for a cage

[Cape Yellow Head]

Hello all,

I'm curious about lighting for my Vivarium. Could a 10.0 UVB fluorescent strip light work for my herps and my plants. I believe it would be a five watt. Thats the one that fits my cage at least. I have a 18x18x24.


Thank you

It depends if your herps even need UVB lighting. UVB isn't harmful in general for fauna. Plants don't need UVB. A 5W not enough for plants

I have 3x 23W 5000K CFLs for my 18x18x24 that i bought from Lowes
