Local pet store price for 100 Watt MVB...

[Jadynn]

So my local pet store offers this Reptisun 100 watt mvb for like $94, now is this not pretty expensive? Anyone else have this problem?

Petstores think they can screw us over apparently. They sell reptisun 10.0 bulbs for $50-60 and MVBs up to $80 (in my area).

Get you a MegaRay at reptileuv.com for $50, with shipping
or check out the T-Rex MVB bulbs online, they are about the same price at different websites.

I'm from Canada and haven't found a good online source yet. For me to order a Mega-Ray it would cost $60US + duty + exchange making it about $75-80 Canadian. Pricing may be great online, but if you can get them to ship to Canada it makes it just as expensive as the pet stores - sometimes more. We found one place close by that has the Exo-Terra SolarGlo MVB for $55. That's the best we've been able to find around here. Anyone that actually carries the ReptiSun 10.0 sells an 18" bulb for about the same. So...we made the obvious choice and got the MVB! Our viv is 4x2x2 so we had the option. Now on the other extreme there are stores selling a PowerSun for $100! So...if anyone has found a good Canadian source for reptile supplies I would love to hear about it!!!

Yeah, that really has to suck about shipping. Last I saw, lllreptile.com did ship to canada, and they have REALLY great prices on supplies. The shipping info says that they have to quote prices, though. So the shipping might be really bad. It might be worth checking on though, if you haven't tried them, yet.
