Alternatives to Reptile Specific UVB Bulbs

[louwillie]

To save money, are there any alternatives to UVB bulbs that are made specifically for reptiles that are cheaper? Like maybe ones for plants? Thanks

Not that I am aware of. If there are, then it will be a surprise to me! The plant grow lights are not replacements for UVB.

No offense but as I dove into this hobby, I came to find out that if you can't spend the appropriate amount of money on the basic husbandry items you will encounter problems.

LLL has Reptiglo 5.0s for $7.99-that is pretty cheap!

that is cheap i think i might pick some up since they need to be replaced every 6 months or so
