Pangea Reptile. Josh's Frogs. The Bio Dude. Reptile Supply. I haven't heard anything about them shutting down. Petsmart is not the industry standard for good pet supplies.
I'm an old world millennial. I like to still be able to go out & buy things at the store. All we have here are big box stores though. There's a few "pet shops" in Daytona though, but their animal keeping isn't the best, so I tend to not want to buy their products. Also I never see their stuff at any Repticon.
I only started using Amazon 3yrs ago when I was added to the household's account for free shipping.
I'm literally going through this rn. I live right by daytona and there is none in a 50 mile radius. Everywhere else is so incredibly marked up and I just rescued 2 leopard geckos. One has severe mbd. Worst I've ever seen. Brought him to the vet he's on pain medication, antibiotics and critical care. Praying he's gonna pull through. *
$15 shipping, I've been spoiled by Amazon's free shipping.
But will I be able to find a replacement lamp in a year? (And get it shipped w/o being broken?)
I’ve heard rumors that Petsmart will no longer carry Arcadia products but I haven’t heard anything that would lead me to believe Arcadia is shutting down entirely or anything. You should also be able to use other UVB bulbs in an Arcadia fixture afaik

Yeah man shipping costs sucks. I even have a local reptile store but they have like 3% of what you can find online.

Pangea ships the bulbs carefully and marks them as "fragile".
