Q: Mali Uromastyx Lighting/Heat/UVB Source
Posted By:

The local exotic vet has it mentioned on their site that " The new mercury vapor bulbs provide heat, UVA, and UVB" Is this correct, and can I replace my one uvb, and 1 basking bulb with this mercury vapor bulb? Also is it 100% necessary for them to have a 10.0 UVB bulb? It's just hard to find consistant data on husbandry especially when I was given my primary info from Petsmart, and I'm always skeptical on their advice.

Yes, you can use the one bulb for heat and UVB. I recommend you check out Doug Dix's website www.deerfernfarms.com  as he is a uromastyx master.
