UV Light Question

Hey I got a lovely 10 week old Eastern Blue Tongue and was wondering what you guys would recommend as to how long I should leave the UV lamp on for. I know some would say you don't need them but hey it didn't hurt to get one

Give them afull day cycle, ie on at 7am off at 7pm. Replace your uv globe every 6 months as they slowly deteriorate.

Not to shaw about blueys. I have a beardi dragon, My UV comes on with the heat light at 6am and goes off at 6pm. Sorry if this is no help. Someone on here should be able to let you know. Have you tried doing a search?

Are you providing an additional heat source in your enclosure?
