Thanks for the replies. Tom, my set up sounds pretty much the same. An oil filled rad keeping the general day and night temps of the rep room. As we always aim for a surface temp in the basking spot ,that's why I thought the pad would work as I can set the surface temp to 95-100F and put a...
Arcadia mvb are brilliant. I think they are just becoming available in the USA but have been the leading reptile light company in the uk for some time now. They come with a years warrantee but they seem to have great reliability anyway.
Arcadia have just brought out a new tube too- the t5 high...

Thanks for all the replies- appreciated.
I'm going to have a look today and see what's what. I know my shop is disappointed with his supplier and doubt he will get one from him again and will also tell him why.

My friend owns a good reptile store here in the uk so i asked him to source me a sulcata...

nice to see another brit on here!! thanks!!
i use nothing but arcadia. there mvb and the new t5 bulbs are fantastic. there has been a test on another forum between a arcadia and an exo mvb.the arcadia was still producing more uv than the exo at 18 months of age than when the exo was brand new!!
they may be new in the USA but they have...
