Posted by: orangudan at Thu May 22 23:12:24 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by orangudan ] Selection of bulb is going to depend entirely on your set-up. I use zoo-med's 5.0 linear fluroscent in my uro set-up, but he can get right up to the bulb if he wants... anything else would be too much. My setup is a 20L for a juvie saharan, so a mercury vapor bulb would be too dangerous. Zoomeds generally have slow decay and in my experience last longer than other bulbs. Having said that I do think that they (reptiles)react more favorably to the Mercury Vapor bulbs, and I have seen instant changes in behavior, most likely due to the increased UVA. There have been some issues with the Zoomed COMPACT fluroscents as well as a few other brands of COMPACT fluroscents. I do not know if these issues have been corrected yet, so it may be wise to stay away from those bulbs. | ||
