i tried the simple cheap incandescent ones and newer flu ones. well, anyway, why in the world do my bulbs keep burning!!!

i tried many before i bought the proper ones so i could save some money but they did nothing. 3-4 inches from the basking spot and not even 80F

well i know that zilla is crap but i don't think that this is justified by their quality. maybe something else is happening. now as for household bulbs, of course they do not emit any heat, especially not heat that reptiles need. I am waiting to see how my zoomed bulbs will do

So i have two tanks (one gecko and one beardie) and I have burned 5 (yes five) bulbs in a months (yes 1 month). What is happening? All of them from several different fixtures (like 4 different ones). All of them Zilla brand, some basking and some black night ones. what is happening guys?

by bark i mean a piece of bark to use as hiding. not as substrate. As for the rest of the question, yes, everything is ok

So my bearded dragon (2 years old) is hiding for several hours now in the bark I have bought for him (I have also moss in there). Now, I am confused because I thought he would be energetic during daytime, or he would be basking etc. I see no reason why he would prefer a dry and dark spot...

He sits on his woods and he looks towards the lights. I have seen many pics of dragons doing that but I just want to know if it is safe and normal. I have a 100W basking lamp and the reptisun 10 tube not my dragons, just looks like this

Is it normal? Is it safe?

he does that on the front side so that wouldn't change much

he keeps hitting the glass with his nose. I took him out and played, now back again and he does it again...

The thermometer measures exactly at the surface of the bask spot and it usually shows 95. The dragon is 1-2 inches higher even. He calms down after a while. Now i have to worry about the ants i found in there. Crappity

He is Male. Usually temp is 90-100 around the bask spot and 80 at the other side during the day

Sometimes my dragon (2 years old) is scratching the glass, tries to climb it etc. What does that mean and should I do something about it?

I put a couple of woods and stones in there which I only disinfected by sweeping with some vinegar and paper towel. they might have come from there.

I see several ants in the dragon's tank. Should i be worried?

My dragon is not eating dandelions. not even touching them. Any other suggestions for daily veggies?

Yes i know that the pulse in here is "kill those who use sand and lights"! I just like to do a research always! My problem is the stable 80-85f temp i have. In the next months it WILL rise due to outside temperatures. Starting september i will go for some changes probably

I know 5 people irl with geckos. 4 of them were using UTH. 3 of them saw the pads carching on fire and/or smoking like crazy! Also, the tank i have is on a wooden desk and there is no space to raise it. I just cannot afford to play with these things!

I am getting as much info as i can. The same way that i changed my bulbs in my dragon's tank to prevent damage, for the same reason i am avoiding UTH and heating rocks!

Well, let's face it. In the desert there is no hearing pad and all the heat comes from above. I cannot and will not use an undertank heating pad for several reasons too. Anyway, most people i know irl do not use them either.
