Wrong uvb light?

[Redmomo]

I have two of the same uvb lights on both sides of momos enclosure. (I got two since I have them both on top of a mesh screen). I’ll preface this by saying I’m super nervous about everything considering this is my first reptile. I’m concerned about his eyes tho. They look kinda of darker than normal and he’s been blinking a lot. I’ve done tons of research on uvb lights and know coil is not the way to go however I honestly can’t tell if mine is still considered a coil or not. Momo is otherwise very active and has been eating well despite shedding atm.

yes, that is considered a coil.

no problem. this is the set up i use for uvb. it comes in different lengths though, and which you need will depend on the size of the enclosure you have. what are your enclosure dimensions? Arcadia ProT5 12% UVB Bulb With Hood

ok you'd want to get the 24" fixture then.
