In an effort to become "greener" and save on electricity costs, I have been replacing bulbs in our home with household compact fluorescents.
I have also used one as a basking light for my female veiled.
They do not produce the temperatures that an incandescent bulb produces, but there is some heat ... and it brought her basking area to an acceptable temp.
My question, however, (Dave Weldon) is: should I be afraid of using these with the animals. I don't believe the same danger exists as with the bulbs designed to provide UVB, but ???
Any thoughts?
