I just wish we had the climate where we could do this ... YouTube - An Argus Afternoon

that would be great! and the uv debate woulnt be a problem lol

but.........................

let me know if you decide to try the MVB and also what you and maybe more importantly your sav thinks of it. lol

hey there,

you had a good read???

mine is still on at the mo, but it is about 9months old. so it is little more than a fluorescent anyway lol

still researching and wondering my next move on the subject, just cant understand the lack of opinion or response

it would seem quite possibly a heated debate, yet i see no heat

hey dextersdad - do you think its worth a sticky, so people can educate/decide for themselves???

Cheers

You'd get more heat on it on repticzone - they have very divided opinions over there - the majority of long-term keepers seeming to be against it. Actually some of the BD breeders have said they never used it for BDs either and they are (so they say) doing very well and breeding.

I am going to try and persuade my carpenter friend to do me a monitor-run for this summer - used to have one for my BD but with monitor I;m worried he might dig and tunnel his way out (prob not that likely).

I wanted to sticky my So you want a Sav caresheet thingy - but I never even got a reply to that Perhaps I asked the wrong mod ...
