heat lamps dont last long?

Put in a surge protector, maybe it's your house current that's uneven and is causing them to go out so quickly.

WWP is right. That's exactly what was happening to me. They would go out after about 3.5 to 5 weeks and after I had the electric company do some testing we found out it was an issue with the current inside the house due to wiring.

i have a UTH on the hide side of her tank and the heat lamp on the opposite side with her water giving a 30 degree temp in her tank and a constant 60% humidity. is this ok like this or shall i make some changes?

all the wiring in my house is new so i dont think that would be it. but i guess its a possibility. ill ask my electrician buddy to come check it out.

id use a ceramic heater but i like having the red night light in our bedroom

Like somebody mentioned above, try a ceramic heat lamp. That is what I use for my tort's, and they last for years.
