    Zilla Bulbs
    Quick question, I am going to order some new UVB bulbs for my beardies and was thinking of trying the Zilla Desert Series but cant find any reviews. Does anyone use or has heard anything about them? Would love to hear some feedback! Thanks!:D

    Which bulb where you looking at? I tried looking up their UVB bulbs and did not see anything I liked.

    Try to Flourescent ( The tube, not the compact) Reptisun 10.0. Or go to Reptileuv.com and order a MVB bulb that is both Heat and UVB, and lasts for a year instead of 6 months.

    K, here is a product description:

    Desert 50 UVB Fluorescent Bulb
    * Delivers UVB light levels essential for desert reptile health
    * Full-spectrum illumination accents subtle pet colors
    * Styles to fit fluorescent, incandescent light fixtures
    Bring a ray of desert sunshine to arid reptile habitats

    When it comes to the bone health of a desert reptile, the extra daily dose of UVB light provided by a Desert 50 bulb (50 microwatts per second/cm2) is as essential as proper food and water for long term strength. The Desert 50 family of bulbs also provide needed UVA light, plus visible-spectrum illumination that makes skin coloration more vivid and viewable. Get all this in a family of high-efficiency bulbs designed to fit most major fluorescent fixture types (compact, T5 and T8). Incandescent lamp users also have the option of a Coil Bulb that screws into a standard light socket. Desert 50 bulbs are designed for 3500 hours or twelve full months of average use.

    Eh, Id still go with the ones I recomended, because that description has a few parts that are normally untrue or deadly ( The compact bulb type, and that they last a full year)
