It never hurts to consult a vet, but the most common solution for pet owners is to provide a UV spectrum basking lamp within or above the reptile's enclosure, with no glass in between. (This is an example, but not an endorsement of this specific product or brand, as I have not used this exact one: amazon.com/REPTIZOO-Spectrum-Self-Ballasted-Mercury-Amphibian/…) | |
