look im not 100% sure on the bulb, but i know its the right setup because hes had 2 of them and they're both perfectly healthy, he breeds beardies( im sure they need UV) because he wen't to the RSPCA about it. and tbh i trust the guy at the pet shop because he knows what hes talking about.

i completely agree with evertything you have said. this kid doesnt listen and I often wonder about how well his reptiles are being kept. I am not going to bitch about him on this thread but if you want a list of problems from the past do pm me....

kieran I would listen to shaneluvsmonitors more than any shop keeper - for one simple reason - look at his sig!!!!!! the serious monitor and tegu keepers on this thread will know more thn your average shop keeper.
