I’ve used Fluker’s and Zilla basking bulbs with little problems. The worst was Amazon sent them with no padding and I received all of the bulbs broken. These come well padded by the manufacturer and have been working just fine for my chams. I can’t even recall the last time I had to replace a...
Hey there! Great to ‘see’ you and glad that you’re doing well. Ugh! Brumation! 😩 Surprisingly my Spike didn’t brumate this year. He finally discovered head bobbing early last year and that’s pretty much all he does since then. All of my chams and others are doing great.

Poor sweet guy. I wish they would just stop selling animals altogether. Pet food and supplies is a booming multibillion dollar business and they don’t need to sell animals. It’s wonderful that they do have the rescue cats and occasionally dogs every now and then, but they need to stop with all...

As long as the pet stores are making money, nothing will change. While they do make a small amount from selling the animals, they probably make the bulk from selling the supplies for them. It doesn’t matter that the supplies are all wrong. I’m sure they’ve done their research and it’s found that...
You’ve gotten some great help already. I just want to add that bee pollen has (anecdotally) caused problems in veileds. Some have gotten gular edema and one of mine had gotten an intermittent puffy eye, which went away as soon as I stopped the pollen. While it is super healthy and something they...
