I got mine about two months ago. I know she basks.


Oh Sheldon basks too. My vet just said that after six months the bulb wouldn't put out as much UVB and UVA as she would like. I can tell just by the glow of the light after six months that it's time for a change. :)

@ljapa - she would still benefit from being outside, even if she doesn't bask in the sun the whole time.
