UVB question.....

dblough Mar 22, 2004 02:14 AM

I am curious if anyone has used the Hagen Exo Terra Repti Glo 8.0 UVB tube? Does this bulb put out more UVB than the reptisun 5.0? I'm trying to decide between the Reptisun 5.0, the Hagens Exo Terra 8.0, the ESU 40 watt 360' or the ESU Desert-7 fluoresent, any input on which one is the best would be greatly appreciated.

Regard's,

I would go with the Repti-sun 8.0 because it is made for desert animals. Also, ESU makes a great 8.0 bulb that i personally love and use with all of my dragons, adults and babies alike.

I've been using the Exo-Terra 8.0 bulb with no problems...
Gives off a very blue/white light which is reassuring...
