I hate to tell you this, but the Reptiglo 10 tube is not good. There have been studies done, and these bulbs, along with the coils and compact UVB bulbs are all causing serious eye problems in both retiles and birds, and/or are producing no useful UVB. I strongly urge you to switch to a new UVB source ASAP. Your lizards could be hiding, in part, because they don't like the light.



The Reptiglo 8 tube bulbs are okay, and the Reptisun 10 tube bulbs are even better. If you want the very best UVB you can buy, get a Mercury Vapor, either the Sola Glo, the T Rex Active UV or a Megaray, and use it instead of your heat bulbs.
