best way to get uvb?

[nicklotz]

so theyre way to many ways to get uvb, which is the best? or what ones does everyone use or prefer, opinions?

Natural sun light is always best ,but i like Mercury Vapor Bulbs(Power suns). I use them on my lizard vivs now and plan to use them on my tegu.

i had one and it burnt out, but once the summer comes around i want to keep them in natural sun light as much as possible. its just tough during the spring time in mass.

mercury vapor all the way, i haven't had much luck with bulbs either... though i see a huge difference in my animals when i use it instead of fluorescent lights... if they're big enough, or tame enough, take them outside though, you can never beat what they were meant to have naturally in the wild.

I use a conbination of Flourescent UVB bubls and natural sunlight... I'm quite happy with the result and have no intentions of changing...

I know UVB is a MUST for a Tegu and other reptiles, but are there any other things that they need from lighting to be a happy healthy Tegu? Just want to check
