My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Reptile lamps for plants?

16 years ago

I relize I already posted something similar to this, but this is more specific.

I have an ESU reptile lamp in my old gecko cage. It takes 9 watt fluorescent lamp. On the back it says....

The desert 7% UVB 9 watt mini compact fluorescent Lamp provides full-spectrum natural daylight rays with high-UV output for proper calcium absorption. It produces the ideal amount of UVB (7%) and UVA rays for reptiles with high-uv requirements.

I dont know what any of this means. I plant to grow seedlings in this cage and am wondering what this light will do for them.
