I am unsure if Petmountain ships internationally, however Reptiledirect does.
UTH are not advisable for use with bearded dragons as they do not sense heat from below. Sometimes when UTH's are in use, there is a possibility of the device shorting out and not regulating it's temperature. If this occurs while the dragon is resting or sleeping atop the device, they have a risk of thermal burns, on their skin and possibly their internal organs as well. If used as directed (under the tank), it often does not oppose a threat when substrate of absorbs and disperses the majority of heat radiation. There is always an exception to every rule. Run the risk or play it safe. A better option would be to use a CHE (ceramic heat emitter). They supply heat from above whilst mounted in a normal reptile dome or wire fixture. They can be used with any fixture consisting of a ceramic socket and heat permeable.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
