A local chameleon keeper had the new lamps. His chams were keeping their eyes closed. He brought the lamp to one of our SBCK meetings and Dave Weldon let the...

Hello Frances, Ok, I had thought that those were the old boxes on the UK site. Hm, that is the problem. That is what I was afraid of! So there is no way of...

Hi, Kevin. What a great set of readings! I pasted them into Excel and worked out the percentage increases. At very close range, eg. 0.25", the sensor is only...
