Expensive new 'Toys' en route

[Pooka]

Hey Gang,
Well I dropped about $130 or so today on the ’kids’. I ended up going with 2 brand new mega ray self ballasted bulbs as my UVB solution for Kizzy (skink) and Drakkar (uro):

The price point compared to the external ballasted allowed me to order them earlier in the year and the additional heat will be much appreciated by both animals.
I also ordered a new ’toy’ for me to check temps with:
www.tempgun.com/order.html#pe1
Its a PE1 temp gun from tempgun.com and will allow me to check surface temps in a single click, a must have for the uro’s hot basking spot I am told. Just wanted to share another exciting day in our lives.

Good luck with your new light and have fun playing with your "temp gun."

That light sounds really good.

Thanks! I have an external ballasted MV lamp from them already for the water dragons and it is awesome, I am hoping for the same experience with these self ballasted bulbs. If they are even 1/2 as effective as the EB I have now then I'll be a very pleased customer
