I haven't had any fertility problems with any of my Chameleons, but I have had lots of problems with MV bulbs. Everything from them just quiting after a couple of weeks, being blazingly hot or not hot enough, or not providing enough light to illuminate the cage. Fertility problems caused by MV bulbs sounds pretty far-fetched, but there might be some merit to it. A friend of mine has a UV bulb tester. We checked all the different brands of the bulbs that we own. We found one bulb that was still producing UVB in a viable range after three years. It was a Reptisun 5.0. I decided I would go back to the Reptisun 5.0 bulbs and wait for somebody to produce a reliable Mercury Vapor. I don't think it has happened yet.
