Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

fluoresent bulbs
HEllo
A friend of mine told me that he read on a reptile magazine that. you dont need to use a reptisun or repti glo bulb to give uvb to your animal.
that you can buy a bulb from homedepot or something like that but it need to have 80+ color rendering index. is that true?

Lighting
All of my beardies are kept outside in natural enclosures. Not sure on if the regular flourescents produce UVB or UVA. I do know that there are some really nice bulbs that are being offered now that do double duty and last hundreds of hours.

Actually it is true you can pick these up at Home Depot and they last longer and do a better job then the reptile lights. We have been using them for several years.

I was under the impression that UVB/UVA fluroscent lights didnt give off much heat.... if you are running a 100-160w do they really heat up the tank?
