and its 100 watts and i just got it today.

also the pets shop has the exo terra repti glo 8.00 would that be better than the ESU that i have?

i will type what the light i just got him has on the box.

"Reflector lamp with full 4 color spectrum, UV-A and UV-B rays increases natural behavior and activity.
increases metabolism and improves natural utilization. makes your reptile more healthy and active."

so does this sound like an ok bulb. yes it is a bulb!!
please say it is *fingers crossed*

also i just found this im not sure if its the same brand that most you guys use, but if somone could have a geeze at it for and tell me if i should get that also.

It isn't the ReptiSun, and I wonder if it is an off brand.

Here is what you should have :

Or:

Hope this helps out !

i know what i SHOULD have and its killing me that i cant get him the best lights cuz those brands are not for sale in australia trust me i spent like 3 -4 hrs looking. for reptisun but alas no.

i know this is not the case but it feels like you guys are saying all brands are crap except reptiSUN and arcadia d3 and i cant have either and its irking me like you wouldn't believe. .

im just soooooo frustrated cuz i will get a light and you guys will say it causes health issues. i am sooooo unbelievably confused...

im sooo sorry.... its not you guys fault its no ones really, im just soooo upset cuz i cant give him the best that you guys give ur beardies

and im scared he wont be happy

 

[Venom508]

i do apologize im just soo mad that i cant give him the best

sorry again i know you guys are trying to help but the market down here is really crap if you ever come to Australia you will know what i mean

sorry again..

You know, I do have a 48" Sun brand new I could send off to you... You just pay for the shipping, and I would be happy to send it off. I still have the original shipper it and a second came in.....
Janie.

my zip is 31406, so you can figure shipping.

 

[Venom508]

my light holder thingy is a 24" i think not a 48.

but thank you sooooo much for offering i really appreciate it

 

[zebraflavencs]

Well drat ! Okay, how about if I order one, have it shipped to me, then turn about and ship it to you ?
I would have to ask ( sorry, poor woman with 3 dragons, 5 geckos, 2 dogs and 2 healthy human boys) to pay for this in advance, and I can get all the prices for you.
Is that a reasonable option?
Janie.

Ah, are you after the arcadia d3+? I just ordered two off a site! petcityonline.com.au

Good price too!

Hope that helps.

 

[Venom508]

whats the breakige rate been for you guys??

Where do you live? I'm in melbourne and shipping for two of them was like 10 dollars or something. They aren't in stock at the moment, but should be in the next week or so. I wouldnt think they would ship them off if the breakage rate was very high...

 

[GoFast]

the reptiGLO 8 is ok...the 10 is not...It would be better than the esu that you currently have.

Here is the direct link for that arcadia !
