Hi, I really hope someone has the patience to help me
bare with me...
The past couple of days I've had real problems with the lighting for my panther chameleon. I have an Exo Terror medium Glow Lamp fitted with an Arcadia 100W D3 Basking Lamp. I have used this since the beginning of September. It is plugged into a timer.
3 days ago the light started flickering and making a buzz noise as if it were vibrating, then the light turned off. I thought the bulb had gone (which i wasnt really happy about after 3 months
)
So I went out and bought exactly the same bulb. I had that in for a day and it started to the same and eventually went out too.
So I went back to the store and bought a new Exo Terror Glow Lamp thinking that that was possibly faulty. I plugged the old light into it and nothing happened (blown). Plugged the new one into it, it worked for all of 20 mins then start buzzing flickring and went out (another one blown?). I took everything (new and old bulb and original and new glow lamp) to my local reptile store and asked them to help me figure out what was the problem and they tried all the equipment in working fixture/lights etc and they ended up changing the fuse in the orignal Exo Terror Glow Lamp. So i came home with a new bulb and a "fixed" Glow Lamp.
I plugged it all in kept an eye on it for an hour and it all seemed fine, no problems. I had to go out and when i came back (3 hours later) the light was dim, flickering, buzzing so I unplugged it from the timer and plugged it straight in at the mains.
It seemed fine all working normally for an hour, and now the light has gone out?
Please can someone help me figure out whats going on, my poor cham is not happy at all and I really don't know whats going on :-(
Thank you in advance
