Could be. I don't use lamps personally as BP's get most of their heat from their belly. Are the ambient temps in the room so low that you need to use the lamp to get them up? Ambient temps should be between 79-82 with a hotspot of 86-91. Generally you can obtain this without the use of a heat lamp.
True, my ambient temp is between 79-82 degrees F... What should I use for a hotspot? I have a UTH should I use that?
