I am a new beardie owner, and believe i may have made a mistake upon purchasing my UVB bulb. i had read the the coild are bad, so i of course avoided them.
upon further inspection, i believe i may have made a mistake.

i though that this type wasnt a coil, because my local pet store didnt have any real tubes - and these looked like tubes to me.
my question is if this bulb is bad, will my baby quincy be okay for a while with it? how long?
i guess all new owners make mistakes, but i wont have the funds to get a new bulbs for a while.
that being said, where is a cheap place to buy the correct bulbs?
