Thanks guys for your comments.

Currently I have ackies, tristis and gillens some with UVB fluoros and some without. To ensure an adequate hotspot I'm moving over to halogen globes-just bought another 4 from Bunnings ($7.90 for a transformer and globe complete kit). I'd be interested though if anyone has had any problems with lack of access to UVB. Wouldn't want to stuff things up.
Yes I'd love some V.brevicauda as advertised on herp trader, but at $1000 a hatchling that's weight for weight more expensive than almost anything including gold
