I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not, I did a quick search and couldn't find anything that answered it. When you switch over to an MVB, does it need to be a reptile-specific MVB, or will any MVB from, say, a hardware store do? My boyfriend is pretty sure we already have some (somewhere...) and I do't want to hurt Gibby by using the wrong kind. I think it would be a much better option for him because his cage is so deep it's hard to get the ReptiSun close enough to do him any good, and keeping up temps is very difficult. It would be nice to have a bulb that accomplishes both things, the poor guy has spent more than enough of his life without enough UVB! The woman I got him from had apparently found out what "experts" thought was good for dragons when she got him 8 years ago, and never thought there might be advancements since, so had him under a red bulb and an ancient full spectrum light, never once did I ever see her check temps, and she thought mealworms and romaine were the best things for him and nearly flipped her lid when I told her I was feeding him mustard greens and cactus leaves. It's a wonder he's such a healthy boy.
