Reptar's lamp has not been working very well lately and it is time to find a new one. I use the 150w ZooMed Repti Basking bulb and need a lamp that is compatible. Any ideas?
What lamp should I buy?

You could just get one from a department store. As long as it supports up to that wattage, it should work just fine, and it will be cheaper. You can also get your bulbs from department stores as well and they will generally be cheaper. Just make sure you pick one that will work out as a basking lamp, though.
I got my dome fixtures in the chicken section of one of the local farm stores. They have a ceramic base and hold up to 250w for about $6. I also use the Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot lamps and also PAR38 halogen flood light (GE, 90w) for basking lights. I have several set up around the house as portable basking areas.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
