Basking bulb blew at the most inconvenient time - is that alright?

[J4ckdaw-]

My car is in for repairs today, I can only pick it up again in 3-4 hours. Leo’s bulb blew this morning but I haven’t had the car all day so he’s been without heat for 9 hours already (lights on at 6:30am, it is 3:00 right now). Is that alright? I cranked the heat while I’ve been out, I’ve also ordered a basking bulb replacement that I’ll pick up once I get my car back. They didn’t have the Flukers bulb so I got Zoomed instead, still 100w. I’m checking on him now… I’m so sorry if this is nothing, I’m just an overly paranoid beardie parent.

I don't think this is a problem. There are cloudy days in the wild too. Sometimes beardies can stay of their own free will for the whole day in a hide without heating.

I know, I’m just being an overly paranoid parent again but thank you

No problem, I'm just as paranoid

Hello,

He will be fine, it is short term! I know, it's hard not to worry, we ALL seem to do that here, on the forum,
so we totally understand the paranoia!
