Hi guys,

I just had to spray my house for fleas yesterday, blech. Anyways, and I knew it was going to happen, I turned off Tank's basking light [ZooMed 100w]and covered his pen. This morning, the blub blew. I knew it would as if we have a power outage or something, it doesn't take long for the blub to blow. Question, should I still use a basking light and stock up like crazy with spares or do I switch to something else? These lights MIGHT last 2 months if I'm lucky, and I noticed my pet shop just upped the suckers to about $10 a bulb! Advice is major appreciated.

Forget the high-priced "pet products" - get a plain incandescent bulb n/p brad 08/26/00 (1)
