That is beyond abysmal. That was done by someone who doesn't care and obviously doesn't get correction for doing their job poorly. Whoever the shipper is should have rejected that packaging as inadequate as well. I am so sorry there are multiple people from different places, beating the odds to maximize their incompetence creating a greater disaster than any single not caring or lazy employee alone could do

We've had it. Petco wanted us to open the box and take pics of the shattered bulb. With animals in the house, potentially pulverized glass, and gosh knows what kind of toxic stuff inside, we told them we don't think so--just gently lifting the box sounds like wind chimes.

DW is on the phone now trying to negotiate a full refund, and going through LLLReptiles. Finnerz crossed again. (Yes, she's a saint)

ADDENDUM:
DW just got off the phone, and it turns out LLLReptiles is in CA--not NJ like ZooMed told us.
She said she's now losing hair. Does that promote her from saint to martyr?

Can anybody recommend a reputable company in the Northeast where we can order a 34/36" Reptisun 10.0 HO T5 bulb (or 2)?

Try Pangea Reptile. My bulbs get packed extremely well and all came in good condition. Before that I used Dr. Foster + Smith for years with not one problem but for some reason they went out of business or at least no longer sell reptile bulbs.

Big Apple Herp is out of New York State, but it's got really mixed reviews. Some people love it, others hate it. I ordered from them once and had no problem, but as you say, YMMV...

Close enough.

[EDIT]
I looked them up, but no T5s, and the bulbs they did carry were only 18" & 24"
Worth a try.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
