I thought about shocking him that way too...so what I did was put him in a small tub with holes in the top....set that tub in an empty 10 gallon aquarium, and put a 50 watt bulb over the top of the 10 gallon, so it wasn't like I put him directly under a high wattage bulb. I figured, just like you mentioned, that might shock him. Thank you for your response.
