Im not trying to knitpick anyone. I understand that Halogens are the prefered option for monitor lizards, and a lot of that has to do with Wayne and his amazing website, but as long as the basking site gets to the proper temperature, does it truly matter what you use?
I know Im not going to make any friends saying this, but after formica says his CHE gets the basking spot hot enough, someone else comes along to instinctually say CHEs arent good. Im not a fan of the idea that there is only one way to do things.
