⚠WARNING⚠
This bulb only emits UVA and does NOT provide the UVB that many reptiles and such also need for their homes. This was my first colossal mistake as a newbie herp owner. I was not aware I needed the UVB light as well as the heating light (UVA) and after caring for my first dragon as best I knew how, he still ultimately acquired Metabolic Bone Disease. That is something you NEVER want to see any of your pets have, it's especially hard when you've become emotionally attached to them. I can only describe it as excruciatingly painful to see how horribly they're affected by it and knowing it had been your fault. So if you weren't aware either and don't currently have the UVB light also, PLEASE go get one RIGHT NOW!

⚠Disclosure⚠
I purchased this bulb approximately two weeks ago as my sickly bearded dragon's previous one had burnt out. Being in a rush at the time, I mistakenly purchased the 150 watt instead of his needed 100 watt. I quickly learned the error of my ways when his basking area temp exceeded 105 degrees. This bulb wasn't even in his tank for a full 24 hours before I had replaced it with the correct 100 watt bulb. Therefore, I don't feel right listing and describing it as being new, but I can at least say that it just as well ought to be due to the extremely limited time it was used. But regardless, I want everyone to be aware before bidding.
