The End of the US Reptile Heat Lamp Ban? | BIG UPDATE

As I have a majority American audience, I thought it was important to update you all on these big changes with the current USA reptile heat lamp ban and when/where you'll be able to get your hands on these lamps.

Working for Arcadia must be a dream. Congrats. I clicked on one of their videos a while back and was very pleased to hear your dulcet voice.

New England reptile just shared Arcadia’s work around. I bought a bunch of the old ones.

I’m in the USA and I haven’t had any trouble getting heat lamps or bulbs. Everytime I’ve been in the pet stores and conventions I’ve never seen them not being sold.

This still seems like an accidental oversight by lawmakers, since the heat is a desired output. But disappointing we haven't had a clarification yet.

my deep heat projector by arcadia was a game changer and i have had it for like 5 years with no problems.

Good info to share around. I've always used ceramic heat emitters. They last longer than most other heating options, at least for me.

Can you make an updated lighting guide? All this lighting and heating is so confusing! I need someone to just tell me exactly what to get for my leopard gecko and crested gecko. I've got stuff that I've been told is fine, but I want to give them the best care possible, not just fine. It's really confusing for me. I'm on the autism spectrum and I have really bad anxiety so I really just want someone to tell me exactly what to get. 😅 Also, yeah getting Arcadia products in the US is hard right now. Petsmart has some stuff still thats on clearance. Hopefully they start carrying Arcadia again soon! I hope petsmart hasn't just stopped carrying Arcadia products because I only have a petsmart in my area. No other pet stores in my area.

Kelvin is "color (colour) temperature". I remember when I got Chuck (my Garg) a couple years back and was doing research into lighting requirements. Thankfully having background in photography I knew what this is. I went down a rabbit hole researching different low wattage halogen and fluorescent bulbs of contrasting color spectrums and output. Halogen bulbs are still widely available here in the US. I also recommend looking into adjustable full spectrum LED "grow lights" which can not only help plants but also provide necessary UV. Education and local hardware stores can be a gold mine.
You're videos were extremely helpful and I remember how hard it was to find *any* Arcadia lighting here in the US. I have never seen any Arcadia product here at any local store.
PS - need more videos of Mantids! Orchid mantids are my fav! Cheers!

You should make a video about making a smoothie with live insects you have for your omnivores

Thanks 😊

[zachcook]

Hey i live in the usa this really wasnt much of a thing we never struggled to find bulbs

Hi! I bought my leopard gecko about six months ago, and he’s not scared of me or anything. But when I put my hand in his terrarium, he tries to bite me. It’s not like how he hunts, where he freezes and strikes—he just slowly comes up to my hand and opens his mouth. What should I do? Should I back out or pull my hand away, or is there something else I should be doing?

[mateiscrusty]

Im completely renovating my gecko's tank i just need a heating option. I'm currently torn between a deep heat projector and the golden sun bulb. does anyone have any tips? Also im currently using a t5 shade dweller for my lighting but i dont have the dome that dims, should I invest in one? Sorry for all the questions i just want the best for my gecko.

[codybug]

I have two red heat bulbs don't know the wattage and I have two bright lights

[Lpsolarnote]

My pet smarts took out all of their uvb bulbs aswell

[meta]

Also fyi those colored bulbs will only be allowed for the next few years. Then even those will be banned, until current law

[TrekTheHacker]

I have a leopard gecko I love leopard geckos

[sarahbeth]

Has anyone been able to obtain the Arcadia uvb bulbs/kits in the US? My beardie is getting a 4x2x2 tank upgrade, and I was hoping to get the 39watt bearded dragon fixture/lamp. If anyone can let me know where I can buy the kit, please let me know!! :)
