    Re: Heat lamp

    Depends on the Watts of your bulb. Example 100w for and hour is 1/10 of a kilowatt/hr. So 11.329x0.1=1.1329 cents per hour . Roughly 1 cent an hour for a 100w bulb

    1.2.Guinea Pigs

    I’m not sure the fixture it’s self says 660w but inside is says to avoid risk of fire do not exceed 75w. And I just got the snake and entire set up second hand so I don’t know what the bulb is

    The bulb should have it written on it. Turn it off let it cool and see if you can find something
