calling all canadians.......need input

[smegol]

Ok, after searching every city in Atlantic Canada, I have had zip luck in finding a repti-sun 10", I can order from the U.S., for over a hundred bucks once you pay the shipping and international fees, and six weeks waiting. Im just about done with Smegol's new viv and wondering what would be second best! Now before anybody sounds off, my beardie does deserve the best, but there has got to be thousand of other beardie owners in Canada.................... what do you guys use and have you had any problems. Any advice would be surely apreciated.

I use a Repti-Glo 10.0 UVB bulb (tube, not coil) I have read a lot of people on this forum 'bashing' this bulb, but I am not willing and not able to fork up $100 + for a light. The Repti-Glo 10.0 tube that I buy is about $30 and you can get it from Mr. Pets or Petcetera (I live in BC) I have only ever used this UVB bulb with my beardie and she thrives with it, I've never had an issue. Hope this helps!

Ah yes the age old problem of canadas stupid laws lol,i was in the same boat 3 months ago, use this website http://www.petsandponds.com/ itll cost you $55 in total but its well worth it,i just started using mine and zilla is very active and alert and healthy as ever! i also bought a fixture from rona for $18 so its not to badly priced.hope this can help you.

Personally we use the Repti-Sun, which we bring up from the states by the case but if you can’t find them or the cost is prohibitive the Repti-Glos will do just fine.

There is a new Canadian based web store opening up in the next month. Specializing in Herps. Full Zoomed line at prices close to what the Americans pay. A 36" bulb will be around $30 and about $13 to ship. Of course if you order more the shipping per bulb drops.
I will give out the name when it launches.

Thanks guys for you input. I just ordered a reptisun 1.0 from pets and ponds. Total cost was 68.97 for a 48" bulb. I am looking forward to the new herp store opening in Canada. Custom making smegol's new viv. I will post some pics when completed.

For a small fee I'll give out the name! :twisted:

I'm in! Can't wait for another store to open. We Canadians get screwed on Herp supplies!

Im just adding a post, so I can get a notification when we hear when this new site opens!! I have a local store in Edmonton that supplies the reptisun, but its 60$. Hopefully if I order in bulk from this website it'll be a lot cheaper then $120 a year for a damn bulb.

Beardie slave lol
