You cannot use an MVB (including Mega Ray) inside a cage only 18" high. The length of the bulb, plus the fixture, would put it too close to any possible basking spot. They should not be used at an angle, either.

You'll need to use a fluorescent UVB source. You can look at UVguide.co.uk to compare various lamps to choose a good one. I know that Reptisun 10.0 is usually a good one. Don't use the coil versions, though - only linear tubes! Some coil fluorescents can cause eye troubles. Information on that is included on the UV website.
