Can anyone give me a link to a place to order UVB bulbs and what not. I have looked at Petco and Pet smart and don't really like to deal with them. ( will if I have too) ALso is it common for them to run $29+? Also is there a way to combine the heat light with a UVB?

Yes, they are expensive bulbs... but worth it. I don't know of any that have UVb and produce heat.... most bulbs that give off heat are UVa... but don't take my word for it, I'm not an expert and someone else will know something I don't, I'm sure! Wink

Yes, there are UVB lights you can buy that emit heat, but they are very expensive...

Some good ones are T-Rex Active UVHeat, Power Sun, and Capture the Sun. The most commonly used are the 100 watt flood. Another great one is the T-Rex Mercury Vapor Lamp.
