    I think that your BP can stand to go one night with a light on. I know BPs are as breakable as glass, but, I would hate to think one night and a few extra hours of light will break one. :rofl:

    You will be fine, leave the light on for heat tonight. In the morning go pick him up a new heat bulb.

    You know, ceramic heat type bulbs in my past experience seem to have a pretty long life and heat pretty well. They also don't put out any light at all. They do although cost more then a bulb. Something to think about maybe.

    CHE is a Ceramic Heat emitter (gives off heat, no light)

    I too use a infared red bulb, & those are always out of stock...
    That is why I buy 2-3, even though I won't need it yet, but incase of burnt out bulb... I live in the country, so the nearest petstore is like 45 min away.

    good luck
