my 150 watt basking bulb went out and i wont be able to replace it until 6 this afternoon. im using a 100 watt right now but i know its not going to get the spot hot enough. should i not feed reggie today because his temps wont be right? i dont want him to have trouble digesting things because its not warm enough. hes 3 months old and normally gets fed bug 4 or 5 times a day and a salad everyday.

He should be fine - replace his bulb when you can today and leave it on for digestion to start like 2 hrs - go ahead and feed him tho

You can give him a smaller meal around mid afternoon [ 3-4 p.m. ] if you're sure that you will be getting the higher watt bulb later. You can also cover part of his enclosure with a heavy towel or small blanket, just be sure it doesn't cover the bulb or become a fire hazard.

Took him forever to shed this time

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
