Lighting Question

[Bruce Wayne]

I think this one the MegaRay is the best out of the 3 --- even w/ a all in one they do not emit enough UV for a dragon and it is often recommended to have the long tube fixture like what your using - basically your paying a lot of money for a basking bulb as they do give good heat -
