i bought some for my future hatchlings from home depot. they were a little over $20.00. they only sell up to 24 inch ones.

cool thanks, and the ones at home depot the 48" ones, how many t8's do they hold?

yup. they're 48" and it holds 2 t8 bulbs. you can get ones that hold more but i'm going to have my 6500k and reptisun 5.0 in it.

Yeah Ace get them from lowes or HD I get the two bulb ones. The ones I have now were $14 and were black and hold T8...now if you are looking to run T5 I haven't found a inexpensive option And if you want to really do it get some chrome paint from Lowes while you are there and spray the inside of the light fixture to up those UVB numbers They are much smaller than the DIY ones which I find good because between basking light, dripper at times, and raindomes you really run out of space on the top of cages fast

I have had my DIY 24x24x36 cage for a month now, and I am very pleased. My female veiled loves her new setup

Here is a good link that tells the main difference http://www.lightingsolutions.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=25&Itemid=26 but for us one company sells t5 bulbs and all others are t8. I know that Hydroponic guys all use t5 and more people are starting to use them in chams too....but for the cost I am not there yet
