I'd also like to note that I have not read anything on the exoterra compact UV fluorescent bulbs being safe now. So, I do NOT recommend the use of these UV bulbs. If a CFL is necessary, the type available from a regular store is MUCH more appropriate. UV bulbs are never necessary unless the animal requires UV for vitamin D3 synthesis. I have noticed that you recommend these bulbs alot. Are you aware that they can cause a serious eye condition caused by overexposure to a harmful wavelength of UV? Of course, the choice of a bulb is always the keeper's, but I feel everyone should be aware that these lamps are potentially dangerous, especially if you do not CLOSELY follow the manufacturers instructions.
Still, neither plants nor dart frogs (or most frogs for that matter) require UV light. So why spend so much money on a bulb that is unnecessary and may harm your pets?
The hoods are probably great, but you don't have to use the exoterra UV bulbs in them.
