My local reptile shops swears by these new arcadia flood lamps for their reptiles in store so much so that they even helped their tree monitors start mating! They brightened up colours of reptiles that arent known to colour up in captivity.
So my question is in experience which is better the normal t5 12% uv bulb and reflector or this flood lamp type one.
Personally I would never have looked at a lamp that wasn't the length of my viv but I've heard great things about the flood. Any advice?
