so it is wensday and i have until thursday night to get my uvb light. i know coil bulbs our out. when i went to visit my soon to be 3 month old sulcata, i talked to them about uvb lights. i dont know which to get. they have a zilla desert tortoise uvb fixture with flouresent light and they also have something by zoo med called the powersun bulb. they said something about it being a heat bulb with uvb. which one should i get?

I use the desert fixture strip uvb light, but I believe the mercury vapor bulbs are preffered most by most of the members

yes get the MVB..it gives off UV's and heat. It's pricey but it last a long time...I know someone who's had theirs for over 3yrs and the UV is still good
