Well, it's been a loooong time since I've posted but I've been reading and keeping up to date Turtle (Greek tort) is doing great thanks to you guys!
I'm popping back on because I wanted to let you know that this bulb just doesn't seem to be lasting as long as they claim it should. I got it in November '10 and tested it today, it's only emitting a 22 per my UV meter. My 2 year old florescent is up at 55!
Of course I never sent the paperwork in so can't get a replacement but am on the hunt for a better bulb. I had a T-Rex that was great right up until it burned out but can't find any now (100 watt). MegaRays seem to be a no-go right now too. Perhaps I will give an Exo Terra a try, at least it's a bit less expensive.
It's really, really important to test your bulbs...just because they light and say they last a long time means nothing.
