I went to the pet store the other day and one of the girls told me leopard geckos needed UVB light so I got a bulb and took it home. I was under the impression that LG's didn't need UVB because they were nocturnal, but I got one anyway and set it up this morning. The lamp is new but unused. Its been sitting in my room still in the package for a few weeks. The bulb is a 26w Repti Glo 10.0 UVB bulb. The Lamp is from Flukers and is rated for 150w bulbs. When I set the lamp up and put it on the cage, the bulb rests on the screen but I was told this was ok. there is a wierd smell coming from the lamp almost like something is burning, but its not a strong smell. I can only just barely smell it while sitting four feet away. The bulb is not in any contact with any burnable material. Its only contacting the screen which is metal. Could it just be dust on the lamp its burning?
