    Night bulb burned out

    My night bulb for my bp just burned out. I do have a UTH hooked to a dimmer, but I have no way of getting another night bulb until Sunday. Without the bulb the cool side will be around 70. What should I do?

    Re: Night bulb burned out

    Well if the warm side is like 87-92, your bp will hopefully move to there, and should be fine.

    I personally don't recommend lamps because they dessicate.
    For every 15-foot python out in the Everglades, there are thousands of species of clams, trees, cats, grasses and birds that are wrecking just as much havoc across the globe. So, for all the headaches the snakes are causing, I at least applaud them for being scary enough to get people's attention.

    Hi,

    Can you get a red fireglow bulb or something?

    70f is really a bit too low.

    You could also consider adding a second heat mat for the cool side.
