UVB Light for Hermann Hatchling

[proview3r]

I was wondering if this bulb is fine for a Hermann? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A8RHTYU/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

I keep reading that the coil or spiral bulbs are not good for them but wasn't sure if this bulb is considered a coil bulb?

If this isn't good, are there ones that can fit into the current socket of the one shown above?

Thanks.

No. And NO.
Please don't spend your good money on any C.F.L.
Use a strip florescent. (I use an 18" with a zoomed 5.0 tube) or a Mercury Vapor type.
Even an old style incandescent U.V. bulb would be O.K.
It's just that the coil compact types have been linked to eye issues and even blindness.
