So i moved my 75 gallon that i got a few days ago into my room, I set it up for Venus who is now inside it running around quite confused. My mother is getting the top currently, but i thought i should position the uvb bulb over her enclosure since i could easily do that in the meantime.
The bulb looks fine and almost completely normal except for a few minor details, the ends are a bit off, not the same color as my other uvb bulbs. And the labeling is also off, which is worrying.
I tried turning it on in the fixture i put it in but it didnt work, so i went over turned off Neptunes fixture and put the bulb inside there, turned it on and instead of the bright light i expected, both ends flashed a orange color before fading out like it turned off. So I turned it off and took it out, currently its sitting next to Venus's tank
I really wanted to get her moved to a larger tank today so i could start cleaning out her old 50 gallon for the juvenile bearded I was planning to get at the expo on the 21st, however I'm not sure if I can do that now since the UVB bulb is very worrying and I have no Idea whether its fake, damaged or if theres anything i can do to make it work correctly.
Its from the same exact seller I've gotten all my previous UVB bulbs from, ZANY Values on Amazon.
The golden/copper like one is Neptunes, the more silver colored one is the new bulb for Venus.
It also has small print near the top that says " J61927 "
