Okay, we got a deal on a coffee table terrarium and are now looking at getting our 2nd bearded dragon! Woot! Woot!
The coffee table terrarium already has a UV bulb (regular bulb) holding mount in the middle, so while Rocky has a 48" Repti-Sun UV bulb and does well, we were thinking of going with a mercury vapor bulb for this coffee table terrarium if we can.
Here's the options for that on Amazon:
1) http://www.amazon.com/Exo-Terra-Solar-Glo-Intensity-Self-Ballasted/dp/B00101JII8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455574539&sr=8-1&keywords=mercury+vapor+bulb
2) http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-PowerSun-Mercury-Vapor/dp/B0002AQDJK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1455574539&sr=8-2&keywords=mercury+vapor+bulb
The first option comes in a choice of a 125 watter or a 160 watter, and the ZooMed 2nd option only comes in a 100 watt option.. and its more expensive and has a lower overall review.
Would either of these be recommended or would you advise that I buy another 48" florescent bulb mount and put in the Repti-Sun 10.0 bulb like Rocky has had since he was a baby?
