Hello! Over the past year of me having my beardie, I've gone through maybe 4-5 heat bulbs which have all been Zoo Med. I've used 2 100w and 2 150w bulbs in a Zoo Med Deep Dome that can go up to 160w. I dont know if I'm somehow putting the bulbs in wrong or if it has to do with anything else but earlier today I took out my beardie, turning on both lights, and when I out him back in the heat lamp made an odd noise and I knew that the light was gonna go out AGAIN. It ended up doing exactly that, and I'm pretty exhausted with having to replace those bulbs as often as I've had to. At this point, I'm just trying to find some sort of inexpensive heat bulb + probably a new lamp since this one is killing off all my bulbs. No clue if it's an error on my end or not either. If I could get any recommendations for cheap heat bulbs and any kind of lamp it would be greatly appreciated! Trying to figure this all out by myself is giving me a headache lol. In the meantime ( until i can get at least more bulbs ) he has a ceramic heat emitter and his usual uvb tube. If it has any relation to why my bulbs are dying off so quick, I use a timer for both uvb and the heat lamp so I'm curious if that has to do with anything? Thanks!
