AboutTracie Kretzschmar Expertise I can answer questions pertaining to health, UVB specifics, overall husbandry care & supplementation, analysis of blood test results, and behavioral problems & handling. I can answer questions pertaining to bearded dragons, leopard geckos, iguanas, uromastyx & ball pythons.
I can answer adeno virus related questions in bearded dragons, & then specifically about the testing methods as well. I am beginning an Pogona Adeno Testing Society in 2008 which will help to begin to start some standardization within the bearded dragon colonies of the breeders who choose to test.
Experience I have been working with bearded dragons for over 5 years now, as well as leopard geckos, too. I am currently doing rescues, as well. I hope to be able to educate people prior to them purchasing an exotic pet in order to avoid any health crisis with them.
Education/Credentials I have a master's degree in sports medicine & physiology, & 1 year of vet tech schooling, & am currently working on a reptile certification through the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council.
Question i have heard alot of controversy about witch 1 of these is the better uv bulb, and i would like to know ur opinion on the matter
Answer Hello Nick,
The Megaray is by FAR the superior bulb.
Several reasons why are that the Megaray will last up to 1 year with good UVB emissions & very low burn out rates.
The Powersun is an ok bulb but a very low output bulb & has a high incidence of burn out rates.
Here is a site of data for you to see the comparison rates of UVB emissions.
