| Just some advice on these. I know you can use IR bulbs, but what about these blue moonlight bulbs as an alternative? Here is a link: www.reptiledirect.com.au/p/260/TMZ-422-Moonlight-Bulb-60W.html All advice will be appreciated. | |

| i bought a moonlight bulb when i startet, but it made them light up because of the uv. it wasnt the same brand but i think that one too might have uv. | |

| So not recommended? They say that these can be used for a night time heat source just like IR bulbs. They also say that the critters wont be disturbed by the blue light. | |

| mine gave great heat! and they didnt seem to be disturbed, i dont think that they can see the uv light as with ir. i dont know if that uv thing is true or not. but so many people in hear says its a no go! so thats what i stick to :-) if the bulb makes them glow, then its a no go! | |

| From what I have read its doesnt make the scorpion glow, so no UV. I just need a concrete answer on wether the light spectrum this gives off will disturb them at night. | |

| This is also relevant to my interests! I was thinking about getting a blue bulb as well! I just dont want to stress my little guy out, but I thought it might be interesting to give it a try. Has anyone tried out out since this post? | |

| As it is turning into summer over here I wanted to know as I buy lower wattage bulbs for summer, but ended up buying IR lamps instead. | |

| I should point out it will probably be a few days before I try out the bulb, so for anyone interested in my findings just check back here periodically. | |
