Mercury Vapor Bulbs

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here using or had any experience with the Mercury Vapor Bulbs?

I haven't used them. I know that there was one age that they were better for but I can't remember if it was for juveniles or if it was for adult dragons.

Oh okay. In the long run, still best to used the long florescent tubes?

 

[PatsyB]

I think so. You just get more coverage with the tube bulbs.

Yeah that makes sense. No matter where they are in the tank they are getting UVB, which this is what they do in their natural habitat. The sun is not penetrating in one spot that would really suck, everyone would be hurdling together trying to get some vitamin D
