Lighting question

[Thompson]

Hello, I just broke my chameleons basking bulb and the only other bulb i have is a 65 watt red basking bulb. Is the red bulb ok to use until i can get another bulb?

Just use a 60 watt household light bulb.....the regular blub not a coil.

I just broke the normal bubl and I only have the red one. I can get another bulb tomorrow.

The red will be fine till tomorrow, though I wouldn't wait any longer than that. I'd be mad if the sun turned red all of the sudden

Ok cool, I am still going to try to go to the store today. Thanks for your help

depends on the gauge... the cheap zoomed gauges don't read for poop.... so if that is what you are using, junk them and get some digital meters with probes.
