Are CHE's supposed to go off and on on their own?

[grannygerber]

Do they go cold when they have reached a certain temperature or is mine not functioning correctly?

Sounds like a malfunction. Do you have it in an appropriate fixture?

yes, fixture is for CHE. darnit.
also, petsmart isn't selling zoomed CHE anymore, they are only selling their own brand, 'all living things'. do you approve? its smaller, thinner I think then zoomed, black colored( not light of course) instead of the usual ceramic white...

Don't ZooMed's have a guarantee?
ALT are cheap cr....

Its summer do you really need a CHE right now?

 

[grannygerber]

I fiddled with the bulb and now its working again, might be a short in the fixture itself, I will check by switching it out and seeing. and no, as far as I know CHE all day and all night is important, they are in my air conditioned house and I keep things cool in here, like 76 degrees.

76 degrees is a good temperature for the cool side. CHE's really only need to be used at nighttime if temps are dropping under 65.
