sulcata questions HELP!!

Posted by chelo sicat on May 23, 2001 at 11:45:12:

my baby sulcata's blacklight just went out. it was a 75 watt black heat bulb in a 8inch dome fixture about 12 inches from substrate. im using a regular 60 watt lightbulb for right now. is this okay until i can get to the pet sore this weekend? also, are regular party blacklightbulbs okay to use or should i buy the special one from the pet store? i think the party blacklights are about 75-100 watts. (not sure) also is compressed timothy hay (kind for rabbits) okay to feed my sulcata? i feed him store bought dandelion greens and "spring mix". is it okay to mix timothy hay with other greens? if i put it in as substrate with the bark, and lizard litter (kenaf) will it catch on fire from the heat lamp on it 24hrs a day? i think the heat lamp might be a little too hot and i want to get a thermostat. any brand recommendations that i can get at a local petstore? something fairly good and also not too expensive. PLEASE HELP!!
