Alright, I have heard so many opinions when it comes to different types of UV lighting. Some people say the mercury vapor bulbs are the way to go while others go with the separate UVB and Basking lights, and some people (at least this is the case with some Uromastyx owners, but I'm sure there...

Hey guys, I've been looking at MVB bulbs recently in preparation for the arrival of my newest family member, a Blue tongue! They seem pretty rad, considering it's a 3 in 1 combo bulb, but I read an article that said that reptile MVBs only last 6 months? Is this true? I would gladly pay the £50...

Hello There, I currently have spare MVB bulbs and was wondering if there was any harm using them with my Royals, they will be guarded. I was wondering if there would be any ill-effects before I used them - I use them for my CWD and I have spares. Was thinking instead of a heat mat to keep...

Hi all, another question I've been thinking about recently and playing devils advocate why is it ok to use a Mercury Vapour Bulb unstated but all other heat sources need to have a stat. All my heat sources other than my MVBs are stated. Plenty of people out there use MVBs and they are...
