T-5 just describes the diameter of the bulb (t-5's are 5/8", t-8's are 8/8 or 1" diameter). From what i understand, t-5's are more energy efficient, but have about the same light output as t-8's.
I have used t-5's (6500K) as supplemental lighting for plants in my cages. For the UVB i rely...

The seemingly high price of panthers can be seen as a reflection of the market for this species of chameleon trying to reach equilibrium. Whenever quantity supplied and quantity demanded are not in balance, the price will change to correct the imbalance. Changes in price also help create...
