lighting suggestions

Hello! I was just going to go shopping for some uva/uvb lamps for Trooper since winter is coming and he won't be able to get outside as much but I still want him to get some "sunshine" I have read where people use reptile lamps for this. Does anyone have any preferences or suggestions?

Yes I do. Go here:

The reptisun 10.0 will emit UV to a distance of 20 inches under the bulb. I stronly recommend the tube style vs. the screw in fluorescents. It is a coating on the bulb, so the greater surface area of the tube style delivers WAY more bang for the buck.

I have looked EVERYWHERE and this place has by far the best prices. Shipping is fast and they arrive in good shape (boy are they well packed!!)

Guess that is one thing the folks down in Florida do not have to worry about...... the SUN is always SHINING!!

Thank you! I ordered some and they should be here tomorrow! I'm relatively new to all of this and am anxious to make sure he has everything he needs :-)
