I recently ordered three 50 watt CHEs for my enclosures but they sent 100 watt instead . I got my refund back but I’m stuck with these 100 watt ones . The thing is a 100 watt CHE is too powerful for night time use in my enclosures even though they are 4x2x2 . Can I order plug in dimmers from ebay for the CHEs and dim down the heat a bit ? Is it safe ? I’ve heard of people dimming halogen flood lights but not CHEs.
Any help ?

Can’t offer any insight into dimmers as I’ve never used one but I have a 100w che on a habistat thermostat - with the probe in the cool end set to the temp I want cool end to be at the che turns on whenever it’s below that temp. Works great for me

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
