    Bulb out. Bad?

    I came home 10 min ago to find that the inferred bulb on Zim's tank was burned out. It runs 24hrs a day. (well not anymore) I've been out of the house for a good 14 hours, so the bulb could have died at anytime during then. When I got home, temps were at 70 on both sides. Will this have any affect on the snake? I replaced it with a 75w daytime bulb for tonight and plan on getting another inferred tomorrow before work.

    Keep an eye open for symptoms of an RI, bp's temps should NEVER get below 75 degrees.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention. Zim is a corn snake.

    And I don't have an UTH. I plan on moving Zim to a rack this summer.
