I went away overnight yesterday, leaving Figment with a dish of BSFL for munching on and lights on a timer. Came back today to find my poor dragon on the "cool" side of the tank, trying hard to bask under his incandescent bulb because the stupid basking bulb had blown out - AGAIN! This is the third time in three months, likely because I'm using a mini dome fixture with a wattage ceiling of 100w and a 100w bulb in it. Stupid me. Ran straight out to Petco to get a replacement bulb and to Tractor Supply Co. to get a brooder lamp, but both were already closed. Ran back home, found a spare basking bulb (thank goodness I always keep a spare tucked away) and an old dome fixture that should have a wattage ceiling of over 100w. It's not a ceramic base, so I don't want to use it for long, but it was more important to me to get some heat on Figment. Here's my poor boy, pancaked out on his log hide, sleeping in the warmth!
