Ah right. I had heard they aren't great.

I have asked Rick a while ago about exo.

He doesn't send them out because of insurance.

Just adding up how much it will cost.
Still not sure what size exo to get yet!

Ah right cool. . .

You should buy them in bulk the amount you buy.

So you would say zoo med is best?

How can you tell which is better than the other?

Hi paul

there is some new research that everyone who uses UV lighting needs to read - over on www.uvguide.co.uk
Some of the newer compact lights require modification - but I cant really say much other than read the info on the site given and there will be an article printed in Reptile care fairly soon ( our extra annual edition I think)
