    Default How long can my beardie go without UVB?

    This has probably been asked before, but oh well. I need to order a new Powersun bulb because the one I was using burned out. So how long can my bearded dragon safely go without UVB? I was going to order from Reptile Supply, so I can get it pretty fast, but I'm still a little worried. I currently have two 150 watt basking bulbs over his terrarium.

    Any advice?

    I've heard different things, but 2 weeks is a figure that pops into my mind. I don't think there is any real data that supports an answer one way or another. We have some warm days coming up, so if you can get him into the sunlight (not in a glass tank) for an hr or two, you should be good. Reptile Supply delivers pretty quickly.

    Thanks for the quick reply. My Powersun will be here today.
