yes and again the store that sells the reptisun 10.0 said the light doesnt matter and ' dont believe much of what you read on forums' haha. I gave her the whole story of whats been going on with Orion over the last 3 months or so and she called up at home a co-worker who is the in store reptile pro and she thought it also sounded like still brumating and not the light. she said as long as its not closer than 4 inches to him

That frustrates me quite a bit to hear actually.

How about you invite them to read through the health and er section of this thread. And then have them make a note of each dragon that is sick and what uvb bulb its using.

9 times out of 10 a sick dragon is under a bulb that isn't one of the two we recommend. Now, is that a coincidence that the majority of sick dragons are under bad bulbs, or do you think there can be some truth to bulbs being bad?

They don't have to watch sick dragons every day suffer under the bulbs that they sell. Maybe if they took a step in us "forumers" shoes (forumers who most likely have years more experience than they do) they might think differently.

/end rant. Sorry lol.

VERY good post Brandon and I totally agree!!!!

the buyer of Orion said he is going to get the reptisun 10.0 so thats good news.

the other good news is today when I woke up and the light was on in his crib, he was not in his corner, but was on the large floor on the left side of tank. he hasnt been there in a few months so thats good.

That is good news that you will be getting the Repti-Sun 10.0 tube. Had the other UVB light been turned off?

Good news that he is staring to eat.
