Review: Great value - I use these for my Boa because she's spoilt. While Boas don't technically need UVB, it is thought to have significant benefits for their health and quality of life. They are the same price or cheaper than other well known brands but these apparently last for twelve months instead of the usual six. Although I have to take their word for it as I have no way of testing it.
Review: Fabulous! - I purchased a bulb but unfortunately after a month it stopped working. This company went above and beyond to get it replaced for me. Thank you so much!
