One of my UV lights for my male beardie Larry just decided to die today. It was 6 months old so it was time to change it any way. But the pet stores in my area charge an arm and a leg for them. Last one I bought from them was 50 bucks and that is just for the bulb they made me pay 100 bucks a piece for the fixtures. I just recently had to replace my TV and that cost me almost 900 bucks so I would like a bit cheaper an alternative since another one of my lights is flickering and it is obvious it will give out any day now. I do not want the basking uv bulbs either since the ones from Zoo med and T rex both would not even last 60 months and they always costs 60 bucks each.
Oh yeah it has to be a canadian retailer or a retailer that does not ship UPS or any courier since if they do that and it is from the states or anywhere else the brokerage fees are brutal.
http://www.petmountain.com is a good site. I also look up specials and coupons and use them when I order, but they are cheaper than pets stores and more variety.
I've heard that the Reptisun UVB 10.0 tube is the best out there right now. I've also heard that you shouldn't use any kind of "compact" UVB bulbs. Just a suggestion as I am fairly new at this!

I only know of one online Canadian retailer, that sells the Reptisun 10.0's, or Exo Terra's. Pets and Ponds http://www.petsandponds.com. They are really good. Excellent communication and fast shipping. They are much more reasonable than any pet store chain price by far. They are out of Ontario so everything is shipped DHL or Canada Post, no customs or brokerage fees of course.
Reptisun 24"-48" $35.99, regular shipping price for 24's are around 6-7 dollars. For the 36-48's, $9.99, however you can save on shipping by buying in multiples if you wish and still only pay $9.99.
