Milo's UVB bulb burnt out and I'm looking to buy a new one. He had a compact bulb but I was warned that it could cause eye damage and really is just generally not the best kind of UVB bulb. A few of you guys suggested the tube kind (i think that's what it's called) but I honestly can't afford to buy the light as well as the special light fixture. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good uvb light that will be safe for him?
Also I'm looking for a pre-made food for him just to mix things up. Anyone know any good brands (if there are any good ones lol)? I've never used the pre-made food because I'm honestly not sure if they're actually even healthy for beardies. So if any of you guys could let me know that'd be great.
EDIT:
I've decided to look into getting a tube light because I keep on reading about how much better they are for beardies. I remember a while back someone telling me I can just use a florescent tube fixture from Home Depot or something, does anyone know of that's actually true? I need help! On amazon, people were selling the light fixtures alone for like $40.. If anyone could help me find a cheaper one to use then that'd be really appreciated. Also suggestions on brands for the actual bulb would be great. Thanks!
