@Dean Roy flixportal =)
@Emerson Devin Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !!
@Dean Roy Happy to help xD
10:52 bs until then
Thanks for the tour of Reptile Systems facility. Can't wait to see the reptile room tour. I'm a huge proponent of UVB lighting for ALL reptiles. Thanks for facilitating getting some of these products available to us in the US!
It's amazing how much work goes into changing the product to suit the American fitting and licencing and keeping there amazing high quality but they did it
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS I can only imagine it's a crazy, difficult process. It seems like the European style of reptile keeping is having an extremely positive influence on American keepers (larger enclosures, UVB etc) and its awesome we get to finally have access to some of the amazing products, as well.
Thank you very much Richard.
It's very obvious that you are constantly eager to learn all that you can about raising and caring for reptiles and I am the same way I'm always eager to learn something new through my own new experiences or through someone elses !! :) The boundaries are limitless as to how much we can learn about keeping reptiles. It's really cool of you to share your experiences with others so they can learn something new my friend :o)
I can't wait to play with a solar meter they gave me . I can really check the uvi levels and educate people on a higher level of uvb
my new favourite channel!
thats awesome news!!! i cant wait till the luminaire is available stateside, please keep me/us updated
Will do. That's one being worked on. There is alot of work changing over to us requirments
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS hopefully it comes soon, thats the one i had my eye on ever since i saw it on your channel. next time your there give them my personnel thanks and tell them to keep it coming stateside
Very good Test. Very useful info.
Thank you
lovely to see you last week Richard :)
And you :) i had a great time
Thank you for testing UV lights behind glass and mesh!! Those meters are expensive and I've always wondered! Nice to see it done real time rather than looking it up and hoping you're getting good info! 👍
I'll have plenty of info similar to this coming up very soon
I'm very confused does UVB pass through last yes or no?
So does UVB pass through glass or not? I'm very confused with this video and I really want to know
Good information. I would like to have seen if holding the screen mesh closer to the bulb would make a difference in shading and change the percentage of penetration.
I would imagine the closer to the mesh the light was, the more would pass through. You could test it with a regular light and mesh even without the sensor. The result would be the same for uv.
Hi Rich,
we are a wholesaler from Germany and have noticed your videos.
We have glass panes specially produced in 4mm thickness that are 100% UV-A & UV-B permeable. The best lamps are produced on the market - but unfortunately the animals do not receive UV-A and UV-B light. If you are interested in these panes of glass - which your customers can replace in their terrarium, or they can be used to build a terrarium from the glass. We would be very happy to work with you.
Now they need to get them here in Australia for me. l am a great believer in UVB and would love to get some of their products. Heating bulbs here are terrible though l try to use Heat panels mostly for my enclosures. They do have some really great products.
Check out a company called Addicted2Fish they have Reptile Systems products in Australia :) facebook.com/Addicted2Fish-216757511683191/
Genuine question... Couldn't you guys in Australia maybe look at making outdoor enclosures? I believe your weather is better than here in the U. K 😁 could save loads with your natural Australian uvb 👌👍 check out Kamp Kenan to see what I mean. Wish I could here but our weather is normally 💩 😂
Thanks for the vids plz test reptisun t5, t8 with and without screen. Not enough real-time info on it
When I can afford to get those I will do :)
Hi man. New to reptiles. Trying to get set up for a Uromastyx . I have a mesh screen top tank. 18 inches tall with 2 lights. 1.100 watt basking light and one 26 watt UVB coil light. They are In dome fixtures. Should I switch to a hood light so he will get the proper UVB? Any info is greatly appreciated Thank you!
Jeff
Hey that mat you had that was cut also it was in a dubia roaches video I wish that mat was sold here in the usa I'd buy it next paycheck if I had the chance
It's coming soon. It takes alot to change the product to us stats but still keep the same quality. They are working on it
Do you know for a 10.0 t5 linear tube lamp will give my bearded dragon enough uvb on top of my mesh top 40 gallon tank? I know the mesh top takes some percentage of the uvb away but enough that l should mount it in the enclosure?
Hi. Sorry I am new to this stuff! I have questions.
I have been learning a lot about hermit crabs lately, as one in a broken painted shell showed up in my backyard on a cold FL day, we've named him Casper. As I just learned that Casper needs UVB light, and we have him in a 40gal long glass crabitat with a glass hinge top, and some guy on the internet 😏🤭 just told me that UVB does not go through glass. . . My questions
Firstly, would the UVB pass through the glass if it was closer to the glass?
If so, would that still not be sufficient lighting?
If the lighting is not sufficient outside of the glass, could you possibly suggest a UVB light that would be safe to go inside? Or maybe suggest me a video of yours that may talk more about that? Casper is a big climber and super curious of anything new that comes in, he always finds a way to reach the things you don't want him to, so I worry he'd hurt himself.
I would very much appreciate any helpful input. Thank you for this video and all the helpful information. 🤗
Can you share the pin for the Amazon Sir? For the Reptile system's lights.
Have done
So if my leopard gecko needs 5.0, should I buy a 10.0 to be sure he is getting what he needs (over a mesh lid). I have to use the wire lid because I have a cat. My cat will eat the lizard for sure. My tank is a 20 gallon long so I can attach the fixture inside the lid because it would hang too low.
The test with the mesh was not done properly. Of course if you put the mesh right up to the sensor, it is blocking like 30% of the sensor. I could guarantee if you lowered the sensor away from the mesh, and put the mesh closer to the light source, you would get a much higher reading. You can test this theory without a UVI meter. Get a peice of paper, mesh and any light source. When you have the mesh sitting almost right on the paper, you get a very dark, very defined mesh shadow. Lift the mesh up and the shadow becomes lighter and more blurred. Lift the mesh right up close to the light source, and the shadow is almost completely gone. This is due to light refraction. The light is actually bending around the mesh.
Moral of the story is, put your light source close to the mesh, and don't sit the mesh right on top of your reptile, as was reflected in this experiment.
So if u put a glass reptile tank outside in the sun. The sun won’t penatrate uvb through the glass?
i wish i could post this into some groups ...people just don't believe you when you tell them it doesn't pass especially with windows *facepalms*
So does uvb not go through glass because I have mine ontop on glass top
That's what I'm trying to figure out very confused here
Richard I really appreciate everything you do for us and I really need your and our fans help if you don't mind but I am in desperate need of help a week ago my daughter's cat got into my leopard geckos aquarium she didn't get him because he stayed in his hide now he's very aggressive biting hissing at me and really not his self please any advice would be much appreciated
Let him bite you, they are weak so the bite won't do much and he should eventually stop when you don't react, reacting means he might realise biting = you leaving and that causes him to keep doing it. He'll realise you're not a threat eventually. Possibly put your hand in his substrate and rub your hand with the substrate before you do this so he considers you part of the environment due to your smell :)
@@rhys896 . thanks for everything I am on the process I'm creating another TH-cam channel that has to do solely with reptiles and breeding warms and things
What about plastic
I always wondered, how does uv gets out of the glass bulb?
That's a good question. I'll ask my contacts for you
Any updates?
I'm pretty sure they are treated with something
Glass is technically a solid and a liquid. It is much thinner. But having a tester could help. Though truck drivers face issues with the amount of sun exposure they get. Often aging faster on one side more so than the other. I wonder if they have their windows open or no or if car window glass is just different. Though I just take my lizards outside for real sun. I live at a higher elevation than most people and I definitely use that to my advantage. Nothing beats the real sun for our scaly sun worshipers.
Good video, but the real question is; does UVB travel through water? I'm a little scared to submerge my Solarmeter, but would you please give it a try? 😉
May I ask why you'd want to know it so I can find out a way of testing it
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS Just for the sake of science! I'm just curious as to what a UVB bulb does in aquatic setups and what it could possibly do to micro organisms in a bioactive aquatic enclosure
Yes but only in shallow water. It drops off deeply
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS I would like to know for turtles as we are meant to have uvb light across whole tank. I’ve wondered it’s strength if my turtle is swimming under it.
try uvc on glass please
Does UVB pass through glass yes or no? I'm very confused what is the result?
It does not pass through glass at all. It does pass through mesh, but around 40-50% of it is lost
Do i need uvb for a lepoard gecko as tank i bought for gecko i wouldnt be ablw to put one in there
1st comment?
Did you see the big announcement in this video ..?
Between 14:00 and 14:30 there is a voice overlayed over your talking and one does not understand either or the other really... Please recut/remove!
At 16:45 too...
Yeah but who puts there bulbs 30cm away from the top of the tank, it makes this experiment almost pointless 🤣
Where does the information that I need to start which is why people are watching us not for the filler
Just saying sometimes the content is usually really great don’t mean to be rude just fact
