Hello everyone!!
I have a beardie that is 5 years old that i raised as a baby and I am having issues with UVA bulbs. I always used Zoo Meds 100W halogen in my 40 gallon for years but these past few months they have been burning out/ going out after 1 to 2 weeks of use! I don't know what the deal is with that companies production but it has gone downhill very steeply. I also tried ExoTerra brand and had the same issues and those are the brand's that are sold at local pet stores. I have heard lots of people use house bulbs so I have looked at walmart and target and they are all mostly soft white and don't get very hot since they are usually low wattage. So does anyone here have good suggestions on what kind of bulb/brand to use that achieves the right temps I need for an adult beardie? Thanks for reading and your help!
