I recall, as a kid, being sequestered, and waa made very unwelcome in the kitchen! Too much debris!Originally Posted by Bogertophis
I agree it would be safer to attach the lamps. I don't worry much about mine as (a) I don't live on such shaky ground anymore, & (b) while I use up to 7 such warming lights in winter, they are dimmed down pretty low...they're not serious "heat lamps", just supplemental warmth for spoiled rat snakes that like to sleep in their "tree houses"....
That couldn't have been fun dealing with all that broken glass...I actually had nothing break, for all the hard shaking we had, & I didn't live far from desert epicenter. But one thing I did BEFORE they happened was to install rubber 'peel & stick' weatherstripping on the bottom edges of all my glass tanks, and without that, I'm quite sure some would have slid off their cabinets & crashed (snakes & all). By coincidence, there was a 5 pt. pre-quake that showed me how much my tanks could slide, so I had weatherstripped all of them months before we had a serious earthquake...whew! Been using the stuff ever since, so anything short of the house actually up-ending, they're pretty safe...
Thank you for all your responses, I will give an unsecured lamp ago, where else may it go? If the ultimate earthquake happens.. well, I watched enough Stargate and always wanted to be a host, Gou'uld incoming.
Thank you for your advice and humoring me!
I will try the CHE and monitor it hourly.
