Vancouver Islander here Glad to see some more people from the west coast showing up :) I ended up finding most of my supply either online or from a local petshop; However, I do recall there being a decent size pet store at Metrotown. There should be a ton of pet stores in the greater...

Here's a few pics of Winston my little bro. The younger ones are him around 3 months and the rest around 9 months of age. http://winstonthecham.tumblr.com/ Cheers

I was looking into the same thing myself around a month ago. If you are planning to import feeders internationally, you will need a permit. I ended up buying some feeders from http://www.recorpinc.com/index.php. They were recommended from Mulberry Farms and the feeders turned out nice and...

Unfortunately my pet store forgot my shipment of mulberry chow. If anyone has any extra or some ideas on where to get some, I would be very appreciative. PS: willing to trade friendship for silkworm chow Chris

Is it time to start debating global warming yet? :)

Right right. The Indoor sunshine CFL is 5300 Kelvin to help with the growth. Plus it looks very nice :) Because I dont have the first-hand experience with CFLs, I always have the negative feedback in the back of my mind. So, if the basking spot under the Indoor sunshine is 84-85, couldnt I just...

I was thinking that was well; However the hibiscus Needs the extra UVB(my 1st hibiscus didnt do so well without it), so I was going to kill 2 birds with 1 stone on this 1

I recently picked up a 25 Watt Indoor Sunshine Spiral Bulb to help keep a hibiscus alive and I noticed that it gave off a bit of heat. The digital temps read 85F at a basking branch(The cage is for a baby panther). This gave me the idea of simply removing my 40W bulb heat source and using the...

I found the answer after a bit more research in case anyone else was curious. Specs for the Indoor Sunshine 25W CFL: -CRI 95 - 5300 Kelvin - Full Spectrum - The Closest Match to Natural Sunlight -25 wt spiral bulb replaces 120 watt incandescent bulb -Energy Efficient -...

Sorry for the dupe post but I figured my previous entry was buried in a wall of text :) Can anyone recall if a ZooMed Mini Deep dome fixture will fit an Indoor Sunshine CFL(25w) without any overhang? or will the Large size deep dome fixture work best? I like to save a few bucks wherever I can...

Indoor Sunshine Bulbs Quick Question. Can anyone recall if a ZooMed Mini Deep dome fixture will fit an Indoor Sunshine CFL(25w) without any overhang? or Will I need the Large size deep dome fixture? Cheers

hmmm hearing that about your jackson really makes me wonder. I think im just going to steer clear of this and scrap the compact altogether after hearing this. I can make an xmas ornament out of the bulb:). Im also now thinking that I will simply use the 5.5" clamp for heat, then pick up a...

wow fast response :) I have been doing a lot of reading on this compact bulb issue. some say that the problem was addressed and fixed in their bulbs a bit ago. I have also read that keepers add an extra visible light fixture which supposedly helps to avoid any eye issues just in case. Then...
