This may just be me being paraniod.
I read something on the internet (stupid internet....) about the zoo med heat bulbs(red ones) randomly exploding, or smoking/catching on fire.
Like I said, I'm probably just over worrying. But I currently leave ours on 24/7. Is that okay? I would rather not do so, but it adds necessary heat during the day and is the only source of heat at night. We're working on getting a thermostat for the heat mat, but probably won't be able to get it until next month.
