    Though I would say a few words about a wonderful feeding tool.
    Hemostats are a great tool for picking up small items(food). They give you some distance from the snake and for some that is needed.
    With practice you can give out a lot of food in a short amount of time.
    I'm fortunate to have access to as many as I could ever use.
    I highly recommend them for anyone feeding babies.

    Anyone needing a pair please PM me.

    I really like this thread idea so I am going to bump it. I would like to review the Repti-hammock. My snakes absolutely love this product and it is a great way for them to closer to thier basking light or get a higher vantage point. Heres a link

    I will review the Zoo Med's "Mite Off". It does kill mites and I keep an extra bottle of it lying around. However, even though it kills mites on contact, it is only good in the short term. I use this in case I am out of Provent-a-Mite. This will not kill off all of the mites, but instead just keep their population well below a lethal level. Think of it this way, if you smell bad, a little Axe/Old Spice can help cover up your scent to the point where you're not badly offending people, but only a shower+antipersperant can keep the smell away. It is handy to have though, just in case.

    Exactly the same experience I had. I now use sunbeam household flood lamps I get for $1. They last longer than the $17 bulbs for reptiles, which are totally unnecessary. Slap a ZooMed label on it and somehow the value of a damn incandescent bulb goes to $17? C'mon.

    Just got this product in (Merry Christmas to me).
    Bioshield.
    Not sure how to review it but the product info sure is looking good.
    Buying it with a can of Provent A Mite saved some money also.

    I do the same thing. Although, I sometimes use the reptile bulbs if they have a certain hue to them that seems natural. I'm guilty of that.

    Re: Product Reviews

    I think you're hinting at the fact that incandescent are missing wavelengths on the blue end of the spectrum. Combining them with a white florescent solves that.

    Yup. For example all my garters have Daylight Blue bulbs by Zoo Med.
