In this episode, Brandon breaks down the terms UVB, UVA, and Ferguson zones. He explains what they mean, why they are important, and how they allow us to mimic the natural habitat of the animals that we love.
Brandon also highlights why a solarmeter is important and why we have to replace UVB bulbs before they burn out.

Nice video ! As mentioned about the UV lighting , you really need a good device to measure how much UV is coming from the bulb . It is a shame that the best Uv meters are very expensive to the average hobbyist. I had a good one and I tested a lot of my bulbs . I had a brand new bulb that put out zero Uva ,Uvb light and I have had older bulbs put out a lot, even though they were much older ! This is where Josh Frogs can step in and make their own brand solar test meter and sell it at a price under ...say $ 100 .! You can not go by how old the bulb is and just think it is good or bad ! It needs to be tested with a good device !
I acctually caught a wild mantis not a baby or a adult i fed a wild dirt worm is that ok???
