I want to change all my guys over from separates to Arcadia in the new year so they will lose quite a lot of business from me

Thats not bad at all must have a look. Do you rate them Alan? I have 2 solar glos and I have to say the activity levels of the torts is remarkable since I changed from basking/compact bulbs. Much brighter light Although am not sure what UV they are giving out, I'd like to get a solar meter one of these days

The two latest solarglos I've had have been poor, the UVB is simply hopeless. the arcadia is only a tenner more but in places like P @ Home, the solarglos are over £40 . if you have solarglos I would make sure they are getting D3 from nutrobal or pellets as well because they won't get a lot from the bulb. the light and the heat is good on it though so not completely hopeless. I will check the levels of both solarglo and arcadia in the next day or 2

The Arcadias haven't been going all that long so will need to see how much they drop in UVB over a period of time

That is scandalous Alan People buy these things thinking they are doing the best for their pets

Cheers Al for the update.My two certainly seem livlier after been around the arcadia for a week or so.Great lamp with good temps.Had a solarglo running over the summer so hopefully Keano and Eric got plenty of UV from their outdoor run and not the lamp.

Clare I received an email from Surrey pet supplies, they do send bulbs here via courier so I have asked them how much it would cost if it's not too bad I will order one

Oooh! I tried to set up an account and they wouldn't let me proceed to checkout when I put my address in
