This is a question for the more experienced keepers who have (obviously) used a wide variety of different bulbs for their indoor enclosures. Likewise, this poll is geared toward those who for whatever reason do not offer their tortoises regular access to natural sunlight and must rely on artificial lighting.
I would like to know what everyone thinks is the best MVB.
Personally, I have only used the Exo Terra models. They were the first to become readily available, and they are cheapest ones of the bunch (shoot, Amazon had them for $20 one week!). However, I'm hearing more reports that the others (ZooMed and T-Rex) are better, but I'm curious exactly why. I do like the fact that the other brands come in smaller wattages (100 watts), but I'd still want to know more before spending $20 more on what is pretty much the same product.
