Hi-
We've had Spike for 3 months and he's almost 7mths (dont have actual BD) , very healthy, eats well etc., His set up is the two bulbs -one UVB and one heat light.
His lights normally go on at 6:30am and when I woke up at 7am his viv was 65 F and he was very cold. His "heat" bulb went dead and we still have about 2 hrs until Petco opens...to get a quick replacement. He's UVB bulb is on and I turned on the "night" time light that we normally don't use.
Then I placed a regular 75 watt light bulb in place of his heat lamp to warm him up. I'm wondering if this is ok? Or is the regular light bulb dangerous for him? Does anyone know? I'm worried that even for 2 hours it might not be good but it's heating him up.
Side note, I just ordered the other day the ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Bulb so should be getting that soon-Does anyone know if that is the right bulb to use in pkace of the UVB and the heat lamp?
Thanks for any advice!
