Exoterra Solar Glo or Powersun MVBs

gene22 May 23, 2008 07:47 PM

I have been shoping around for a MVB. All that the stores carry is Exoterra Solar Glo or Zoo Med Powersun. I know most people recommend Trex or Megaray. Does anyone have experience with the Exoterra or Zoo Med Powersum. It will be for a uromastyx in a 40 gallon breeder. Also, can anyone recommend what wattage to get 100 or 160 watt? I would appreciate any help

I understand that between those two, the Solar Glo is best. The Power Sun has an early failure rate and does not produce the UVB like the Solar Glo. They come in a 125 watt. That might be perfect for your uro at 12 inches from the basking spot.

Now, do you have a temp gun? I just got nudged inanother forum by Robyn of proexotics. They really are the best thermometers for speed and accuracy. Better Robyn?
