So my bulb blew at some point last night, they are in a plastic storage container with the lid cut out and chicken wire affixed to it. During the day I use a 75w basic bulb and they seem to be thriving and doing well. Active and eating/pooping non stop!
At night though, I was using a black bulb (also 75w) that didn't keep them up and still put out a small amount of heat to keep them warm. We only brought them home from the store yesterday so I know they need a solid 80-90 degrees in there.
Any suggestions to keep them warm enough tonight? Right now I have a small space heater set on the lowest setting, it shuts itself off automatically to prevent overheating and then turns back on when it cools off. I worry about using that though....
