MV Bulb & Fluorescent Bulbs

[snk]

I am wondering since MV Bulb do produce UVB and heat at the same time, is it possible to just use MV Bulb in cham's enclosure and not having a Fluorescent Bulb since MV Bulb already produce UVB which Fluorescent Bulb also.

Yes you can. Be weary of the heat emitted from them. What species are you keeping and what wattage is the MVB?

I highly suggest not doing that. Chams need to regulate UV and heat separately, so you really need 2 different bulbs. You aren’t giving the cham a choice using one bulb like that, so if the cham wants UV but not heat (or the opposite) then you are going to cause stress from that.
