first, since i started reading this forum a few days ago, seems like a lot of you use those reptisun 5.0 lights...i think those are the tube things that make uvb...but you have to use some other source with it to produce heat. am i mistaken?
the things i use i *think* are called Power Sun. they are these 100 wat bulbs that screw into a standard fixture. the gal at the pet store said that they provide the uva and uvb light that the lizard needs, and heat at the same time.
first, is the setup i have adequate? (the lizard *can* get pretty close to the light (like 10-12 inches if she wants to climb that high)). does provide the stuff the lizard needs?
anyway, is one setup better than the other?
and, i've also been reading (this seems to reference the reptisun 5.0 bulbs) that they have to be replaced every six months.
normally, the bulbs i get are pretty damn expensive...like 30-37 bucks. what i do, is wait until the store has them on sale (20-30 bucks) and get several of them. i burn one, and save the rest until they are needed. well, if these things have an "expiration" date...should i not be doing that?
