I just bought a compact UVB bulb for my tortoise. I have been using this bulb since last two days. Just now I read an article that compact bulbs are not good for reptiles . Some reptiles can go blind because of the this.
Here is the link where I read this.

I am going to defocus the UVB buld light so that tortoise will get UVB but the lighting will not be that bright. Also I am going to lot more hiding places so that he can hide any where if he does not like the light.
