: I would recommend allowing a buffer zone of at least a year on new products. I get a feeling that some of these things they try to sell, just don't live up to what they say they do. I'd rather hear it from reptile owners a few years from now, than to take the word of a manufacturer.

: So my suggestion would be to hold off on buying anything that hasn't been out on the open market for at least a year or two. I'm stickin' with the UVB bulbs and a ceramic heater element, til I feel comfortable with these new products.

I would tend to argue with that arguement. However, this product has been used for many years. Zoos have successfully been utilizing these bulbs with great success. It has, however, just become widely available to consumers.
