Question regarding UVB bulbs

If you are using UVB bulbs for collareds, does it matter if it is a compact fluorescent or a tube? The reason I am asking is that there appears to be problems using compact fluorescents for chameleons. Some chameleon keepers were reporting eye damage in chameleons from using compacts. Are compacts safe and effective for collareds or should I stick with the traditional tubes?

Also, I have a trio of WC juvenile collareds that I collected in mid-August. Is it recommended to deparasitize WC's (i.e. panacur and flagyl)even if they appear to be thriving? Thanks for your advice.
