I recently read that coil uvb bulbs are not okay to use, and cause blinding!!
I also read that since then, the bulbs have been changed, and are now safe to use. I'm currently using an Exo Terra desert terrarium lamp repti glo 10.0 26w on two baby sulcata tortoises... is it safe to be using that bulb or does it need to be swapped out, if so what kind of bulb should i be using?!
