Part of the challenge of owning an exotic animal is finding the specific supplies that you need.  The chain pet stores often carry the least safe and often substandard equipment, and even the reptile specific stores do not carry every product on the market.  Mail order is often the best way to find supplies for your reptile.  The below links are the most popular specialty sites.
