uva?

i saw these i think halogen bulbs at the petstore i know you need uvb but it said uva are they similar and if i get that do i still need a uvb bulb????

uvb and uva are not the same. some people use flourescents i use mercury vapor. both provide uvb and uva. they need both. you can use a reptisun 10.0 and a basking bulb or a solar glo 125w for example. it provides heat and uvb. both are effective.

UVA is the weakest of the UV you need UVB also, if it dont say it I would not get it

teh uvb and heat combo are like 80 bucks lol but definately getting some soon but now just to replace the one i have i piced up a flourecent bulb

 

[alivia werner]

yeA it was very intersting i didnt understand what the bulb was for so i refrained from buying it lol thinkin bought getting a few mercury vapor bulbs

 

[richard]

there are cheap ones out there but i wouldnt go near them. mega ray is a good bulb but they are backordered and the owner is an ass. the solar glo by exo terra is a good bulb. about 40 bucks or cheaper at a reptile show.

ooh that sounds good yea i was going to get the one at the petstore but it was 80 yikess but ill try the solar glos

ZooMeds halogen bulbs are very good, they offer more heat than a standard bulb & my dragons seem to react to them well. Temperature helps with Digestion, UVA helps stimulate Natural Behavior & UVB helps with the Production of Calcium.
