Ditto on what Rosebuds said about the MVB bulbs... I switched my Uros last month from glass aquarium tanks with screen tops and regular basking lights (with UV lights inside the tank) to new Animal Plastics enclosures with MegaRay MVB bulgs. Wow!! The difference in coloring is amazing, especially with my male yellow Saharan. They most DEFINITELY know where the good basking is now. My babies are being shy since I moved them to their new AP cage and are going through an adjustment phase, but they sure love the MegaRay bulbs too. Right now I'm using 100 watt SB Megaray with either a bright household coil fluorescent (not UV) or a 60-watt household bulb, depending on our freaky weather here in Washington state. I still have a 40-watt CHE on at night, since I think that summertime is going to completely bypass us here in the Northwest this year
