Tuesday at 10:00pm *probably eastern* will be airing the Madigascar episode , covering alot of the unique species of madigascar , commercials show several shots of chameleons and uroplatus ... and those monkey things *but we all know what most of us will watch for*

just gonna have to stock pile my 60/ 40 watt house bulbs... bulb prices have sky rocketed massively in price as well.. used to be a buck or 2 for a 4 pack, now its like 4 bucks.
no not in summer... would be a death trap... especially in tucson.
you could get away with it in fall, and the right winter days ....have to be very vigilant of it, and those when we have good monsoons.

100watt blue basking, why blue? i understand its much cooler there so that may be the reason for the 100watt, i use 60watt house bulbs and get the UVA they need and heat from that....
