Went to Petco to get some sand for the axokotl tanks and passed by the tube lights..... They're asking $80-$95 for a darn T8 10.0 UVB tube light for reptisun($75 for T5), $70 for the Arcadia UVB tube fixtures, and then to get a good and a tube light $130 it used to be $40 for just a tube light fixture. My jaw dropped. 😭 I mean as long as the quality is excellent I don't care but still 😭

I stopped using petco a long time time ago. Their prices are always higher than everyone else.

That's hefty - more than they cost here, and here all electronics (regardless what it is) are extra expensive if available at all.
(I paid about 60 USD here for the fixture and 30 USD for the tube, both for a T5 Reptisun; I cannot get Arcadia so no comparison for that.)

Todd is awesome. Answers questions, the prices are comparable to other retailers that aren't big box and the packaging is amazing. I actually just ordered her replacement the other day. He'll even email when it's time for a replacement if you want. Somebody here suggested them to me. Nobody locally stocks the size / type for her (I can get reptisun all day, but she does better with the Arcadia) and I have concerns about shipping. But his packing is art and engineering combined. You can get it for the same price elsewhere, but you don't get the good service and still have to hope it's packed well enough for the apes at UPS or FedEx lol

I always buy two sets so I go once a year (I switch them out every 6 months or when they go out). But I've dropped at least $200 buying new hoods because they break.... Life with siblings that are way younger than you 🥲
