Hello,



I was wondering if you could use the Mercury Vapor bulbs that you find in hardware stores and Walmart, for your reptiles???



Are they the same? Are the MVB that are for reptile (like Powersun) made differently?



The reason I am asking is b/c I found one at Walmart and it is shatter proof and alot cheaper. This would come in hany for me as I have kids and when it is time to replace the bulb and it should break I wouldn't have to worry about the mercury.



Also can you safely add the reflective sheilds that go on aquarium lights? A friend has some she will give me but I don't want to take them if I cannot use them.



Thanks In Advance for Your Help
